attitude kindness compassion
Since we desire the true happiness that is brought about by a calm mind, and such peace of mind arises only from having a compassionate attitude, we need to make a concerted effort to develop compassion.
country kindness heart
Compassionate thought is the most precious thing there is. It is something that only we human beings can develop. And if we have a good heart, a warm heart, warm feelings, we will be happy and satisfied ourselves, and our friends will experience a friendly and peaceful atmosphere as well. This can be experienced community to community, country to country, continent to continent.
diversity enough distortion
It's not enough to be compassionate. You must act.
hurt responsibility helping-others
Our greatest duty and our main responsibility is to help others. But please, if you can't help them, would you please not hurt them.
helping-others suffering helping
If others are happy, we will be happy. If others suffer, ultimately we all suffer.
pain helping-others giving
Your own pain is involuntary; you feel overwhelmed and have no control. When feeling the pain of others, there is an element of discomfort, but there also is a level of stability because you are voluntarily accepting pain. It gives you a sense of confidence.
attitude selfish animal
Human beings are not intrinsically selfish, which isolates us from others. We are essentially social animals who depend on others to meet our needs. We achieve happiness, prosperity and progress through social interaction. Therefore, having a kind and helpful attitude contributes to our own and others' happiness.
lonely motivation helping-others
If you help others with sincere motivation and sincere concern, that will bring you more fortune, more friends, more smiles, and more success. If you forget about others' rights and neglect others' welfare, ultimately you will be very lonely.
war mean violence
All forms of violence, especially war, are totally unacceptable as means to settle disputes between and among nations, groups and persons.
regret live-life compassion
We must each lead a way of life with self-awareness and compassion, to do as much as we can. Then, whatever happens we will have no regrets.
pursuit-of-happiness emotional hands
If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience. On the other hand, if someone is suffering from depression, anxiety, or any form of emotional distress, then even if he or she happens to be enjoying physical comforts, he will not really be able to experience the happiness that these could bring.
practice effort meditation
Whatever forms of meditation you practice, the most important point is to apply mindfulness continuously, and make a sustained effort. It is unrealistic to expect results from meditation within a short period of time. What is required is continuous sustained effort.
gratitude buddhist opportunity
Our enemies provide us with a precious opportunity to practice patience and love. We should have gratitude toward them.
buddhist home atmosphere
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
