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.
kindness beginnings-and-ends neglect
Since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other's kindness, how can it be in ......the middle that we would neglect kindness towards others?
feelings mind ease
Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.
zero
A zero itself is nothing, but without a zero you cannot count anything; therefore, a zero is something, yet zero.
inner-peace mind body
A Compassionate state of mind brings inner peace, and therefore a healthier body.
fundamentals belief affectionate
Be a good human being, a warmhearted, affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief.
rich-or-poor suffering desire
Whether we like it or not, we have all been born into this world as part of one great human family. Rich or poor, educated or uneducated, belonging to one nation or another, to one religion or another, adhering to this ideology or that, ultimately each of is just a human being like everyone else. We all desire happiness and do not want suffering.
