The following is pith advice Jetsunma offered to a student who asked her how to work on pride:
When you wake up in the morning put all sentient beings above the crown of your head. And then put Guru Rinpoche above all of them. So essentially you’re seeing that Guru Rinpoche blesses all sentient beings but also that all sentient beings are above you, and therefore more important than you.
Try that.

Yeah but who is above Padmasambhava? Samantabadra (& Samantabhadri)! And what are we supposed to do during generation stage? Visualize ourself as Buddha! Not some fabricated delusion. Let’s get real. And if I truly was below everyone else wouldn’t that mean I would be a hell being, with hell being habitual tendencies. Not to be denied. Also, another fabrication.
Have a good day.
Thank you for your kind teaching. Om mani pad me hum.
