11. When beings and the world are filled with evil, transform unfavorable circumstances into the path of enlightenment

• This is the First Slogan/Instruction of Point Three, which consists of six instructions.
• Point Three is “Transforming Adversity into the Path of Awakening”. 

In short, when calamities befall me, it is the weapon , 
of my own evil deeds turned upon me, like a smith killed
by his own sword. From now on I shall be heedful
of my own sinful actions.

from “The Poison Peacock’s Neutralizing of Poison” (attributed to Dharmaraksita) in Mind Training: The Great Collection, Thupten Jinpa

According to Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, 

Sometimes it seems that the world is filled with negativity and that living beings have much suffering and many accidents befalling them. We must learn to transform these negative circumstances into the path to enlightenment. This can be done in two ways: through the practice of relying on relative bodhichitta and through the practice of relying on ultimate bodhichitta.
