How are we to deal with people whom we have helped who betray and hurt us in return? Normally, you would get depressed and feel deeply hurt. But in the Kadampa tradition, this person is looked upon as a spiritual teacher. Obviously there is a cause for the pain you have been exposed to, a cause you have created in the past. Once you learn to comprehend and accept this, you’re on your way to transforming yourself in a way that really counts.
