“ The idea is for us to become more and more aware of what we’re doing, and more and more aware that our actions have consequences. Examining our behaviour to see whether it’s polarising is an extension of the question “Does it matter?” Once we see what’s at stake - not just for ourselves, but for our surrounding environment and for the planet as a whole, which suffers so much from polarisation - we are naturally motivated to apply payu, heedfulness. We can gradually refine our payu so that it’s present at more subtle levels of our behaviour, beginning with our words.”
(from Pema Chödrön’s ‘Welcome the Unwelcome’ p24)
