loyalty country thinking-of-you
I hope that at this moment you are thinking of yourself as a human being rather than as an American, Asian, European, African, or member of any particular country. These loyalties are secondary.
mistake practice people
We should practice by showing one another love and helping one another. It is a mistake to pursue happiness and to seek to the avoid suffering by deceiving and humiliating other people. We must try to achieve happiness and eliminate suffering by being good-hearted and well-behaved.
buddhist attachment psychology
According to Buddhist psychology most of our troubles stem from attachment to things that we mistakenly see as permanent.
compassion goal tolerance
Because the existing education system is oriented towards materialistic goals we need to pay special attention to inner values such as tolerance, forgiveness, love and compassion.
kindness compassion practice
My message is always the same: to cultivate and practice love, kindness, compassion and tolerance.
kindness heart feelings
My religion is kindness. A good mind, a good heart, warm feelings these are the most important things.
punishment judgement sin
Sin contains its own judgement and punishment.
buddhist buddhism trying
Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-al ready-are.
humanity world compassionate
We can only transform humanity and create a happier more compassionate world through education.
kindness selfish winning
The simple recognition that everyone else wants to be happy and not to suffer, just as I do, serves as a constant reminder against selfishness and partiality. It reminds us there is little to be gained from being kind and generous while hoping to win something in return. Actions motivated by a desire to earn a good name for ourselves are still selfish, even if they appear to be acts of kindness.
compassion concern-for-others tolerance
If indeed the qualities such as love, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness are what happiness consists in, and if it is also true that compassion, defined as concern for others, is both the source and the fruit of these qualities, then the more we are compassionate, the more we provide for our own happiness.
creative important realizing
We have a natural creative ability and it is very important to realize this.
compassion genuine-concern rights
I would like to explain the meaning of compassion, which is often misunderstood. Genuine compassion is based not on our own projections and expectations, but rather on the rights of the other: irrespective of whether another person is a close friend
weakness indication
More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.
