Of course once you get offended, then you need to defend yourself, and being defensive usually ends up being a big waste of time.
It's only when they get past their defensiveness that people get to the root of what offended them -- attachment. |
How do you ensure that people can get past their defensiveness?
The style of trying to teach by pushing buttons can lead to defending and someone taking their stance to a more rigid place. Exactly the opposite of the intention of a teaching.
You assume people will be able to become realized about their positions and be able to let go of that.
