• Attachment to praise leaves us at the mercy of other people’s opinions about us
• Being criticised protects us from falling into lower realms
• People who wish us harm actually help us be cured of our addiction to samsara
• Those who obstruct us from creating merit help us put fortitude into practice
• Practicing the four austerities
• People who harm us do not prevent us from creating merit
• Q&A:
  • Working with receiving praise
  • Learning to be confident when criticised
