thinking people important
When we are young and again when we are old, we depend heavily on the affection of others. Between these stages we usually feel that we can do everything without help from others and that other people's affection is simply not important. But at this stage I think it is very important to keep deep human affection.
compassion enemy unbiased
Your friend, your enemy, your neutral all are equal. Genuine compassion is unbiased.
china dharma fallen
Had Tibet not fallen away from dharma China could not have invaded.
buddhism people mind
Buddhism does not accept a theory of God, or a creator. According to Buddhism, one's own actions are the creator, ultimately. Some people say that, from a certain angle, Buddhism is not a religion but rather a science of mind.
teaching people benefits
We need to teach people that the environment has a direct bearing on our own benefit.
attitude important behaviour
I feel that a genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives. How one creates that smile largely depends on one's own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that many things depend on one's own behaviour.
heart benefits facts
The more we take the welfare of others to heart and work for their benefit, the more benefit we derive for ourselves. This is a fact that we can see.
wish action helping
You can’t help someone just by making a wish to do so, you have to take action.
way construction humans
Constructiveness is the human way.
simple contentment shelter
If one's life is simple, contentment has to come.
self discipline negative
Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combating negative emotions, should be a defensive measure.
quality certain source
How can we eliminate the deepest source of all unsatisfactory experience? Only by cultivating certain qualities within our mindstream.
reality hands noses
Since form is emptiness and emptiness is form, then instead of a hand grasping at nothing, it is better to grasp at someone's nose because this is closer to reality.
friendship compassion issues
When the only bond between close friends is attachment, then even a minor issue may cause one's projections to change. As soon as our projections change, the attachment disappears, because that attachment was based solely on projection and expectation. It is possible to have compassion without attachment, and similarly, to have anger without hatred.
