There is a group of people who were Western meditation teachers, and at one point they said that what should be done about the selfhatred that many students experience./nHe got confused because they didn't have a word for selfhatred in Tibetan, and they had a conversation about compassion and self-compassion./nHe said that people might think selfcompassion is a weakness, but in fact, when you hold your humanity with a tender heart, with a genuine compassion, then you can also hold others that way and become a force for what's beneficial in the world.
