With this video (BA6_67-75) Ringu Tulku explains how those negative actions are done out of ignorance. It’s up to us to end this spiral, which otherwise could go on for generations. If I react with patience and loving kindness instead of hatred, then, even if that requires some sacrifice now, it will prevent more problems in the long run, and contribute to happiness of everybody. At least, I have started a more positive way of life for myself. If I can do this, I should rejoice. That’s the true dharma practice. This is Rinpoche’s commentary on stanzas 67 to 75 of the Sixth Chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara.
