Compassion Articles

Why is it so difficult to live a spiritual lifestyle? Everything about it is better than the alternative. A life built upon qualities like compassion, kindness, peacefulness, honesty, etc. is miles ahead of one based on fear, anxiety, stress, feeling unworthy, and so forth. You feel better, you are more at peace, you will be healthier, happier and you will live longer. And yet, faced with the unequivocal benefits of spirituality, we seem to be passionately driven to shoot ourselves in the foot (or worse).

An active daily practice of gratitude can quite literally, change your life. It is the most powerful spiritual resource we have. It is unlike anything else we experience. Feeling grateful generates a ripple effect through every aspect of life, potentially satisfying some of our deepest yearnings - for happiness, healthier relationships and inner peace.

There are as many ways to view the world as there are persons in it. The point of perspective is not how you view it, but more crucially, from were you view it from. Through the evolution of the brain of modern man, the mind was created. A mind that is aware of its own thoughts. The mind that now had the capacity of analytical, logical, abstract, and imaginitive cognitive prosesses.

The universe returns what you have given freely a thousand times over. What you sow is what you reap. In order to receive you must give. If you wish someone to have more blessings and love, you will receive blessings and love a thousand times more.

Some find it difficult to reconcile what seems to be a conflict between realising the Buddha's teachings for oneself, versus actualising (or practising) them to help others do so. This is because some teach that one should fully focus on spiritually liberating oneself before attempting to help liberate others

Forgiveness in one sense means being absolved of our sins. However real forgiveness means more than just the forgiveness of our wrong actions. Divine forgiveness involves illumination.  Our ignorance becomes not just temporarily absolved but transformed.

If every human being could recognize the power of the love and forgiveness principle all consciousness on earth would change instantly. Indeed, thoughts can change the course of history. Sometimes, all it takes is enough people knowing about a certain concept.

Loving without limitations is "universal love." And that is God. If you want to experience that God in your life, love everybody and everything  as God would love. Unconditionally.

People grow by making mistakes. That is why we should never hesitate to give more chances to people. Give a helping hand rather than a condemning one.  If you can not help the person, at least do not dislike him or her.
