I read the book, “How to Practice” by the Dalai Lama several years ago.
One of the main points I took from it (paraphrased) was, “If you are in the right frame of mind, your worst enemy cannot hurt you. If you are in the wrong frame of mind, your best friend visiting can be a horrible chore.”
To me this was empowering. While I cannot control other’s actions, I can choose how I react to other’s actions.
