CULTIVATE EQUANIMITY.

To express the true compassion for people, we must remove the bias in our attitude towards them. Of our normal thought for others has always been controlled by racist feelings and vibrations. We feel close to us. For those familiar or unfamiliar we feel out of touch. And for the guys we are hateful, unfriendly or disparity, we feel antipathy or scorn.
The standard by which we categorize people as enemies or friends are very clear. If someone close or benevolent kindly to me, it's you. If a person is hurt or embarrass him, that person is my enemy. Together with the interest that we designed for the trade body is the emotional attachment lap as the desire to be close to love.
Similarly, we are for the people we do not like the negative emotions such as anger or resentment. Therefore, our compassion for everyone is always limited, biased, prejudiced and the condition is whether we feel close to them or not.
True compassion has to be unconditionally. We should practice equanimity to overcome feelings of discrimination and bias. How to cultivate rough as we ponder the experience of not strength of friendship. First of all we need discretion to notice nothing makes sure that our friend today will forever be life-long. Similarly we can imagine that the people we do not like not really takes forever so. The thought that diffuse the strong emotions of the bias and any destruction of love nostalgically in us.
We can also meditate on the negative consequences of attachment that we set aside for friends and aversion towards the enemy. Our feelings towards your friends and lovers sometimes make us blind. We magnified the qualities themselves longing for the place that person and make sure that I was not wrong. Then, when we see things not right with what we zoom in and then we're stunned. We teeter fall from the pinnacle of the ultimate love and desires down to frustration, disgusted and angry. Even the feeling of satisfaction and gratification in my relationship with someone that we love can lead to frustration, boredom and hatred. The element has a strong emotion such as those with romantic love and hatred common integrity by these feelings, and their joy was only transient. According to the Buddhist point of view, the better off we should not hold these feelings so right from the beginning.
The consequences when broken by wrath? The noun "Shedang" or "hate" of Tibet meant the hostility from deep down in my heart. There is something not right when we react to the injustice or harm in mind of hatred. Our hatred doesn't affect the body of our enemies, it doesn't harm them. rather, we suffer the consequences are bad, bitter due to the wrath of the us. It's opaque cut us from the inside. When angry, we have not known. We can't sleep straight up, rolling over again throughout the night without any snooze. It's profound influence to us while our enemies continue to live happily happily oblivious to our sorrow.
Get escape the wrath and anger, we can handle any situation with much better results. If we come in contact with the rough we will see the issue more clearly and thus help us to apply the best method to solve the problem. For example, if a child is acting something endangering itself and others as play with the sticks, we can punish it. When we treated such candor, something likely to happen is that the baby will not react on our anger that responding to the sense of urgency and concern of ours.
This is helping us to get to know that the true enemy is within our hearts. It is selfishness, attachment and our anger. We should be aware of potential harm to the enemy, we are very limited. If someone challenges provoke us, we should restrain myself not responded, although it can do things they can't harm us. By contrast, when strong emotions like immensely angry, hate or desire arise, they create disorder in our hearts. Immediately they are undermining the peace in our mind as well as the sadness, suffering and destruction of Germany by us.
When we take over the rough, we can realize that the concept of "enemies" and "friends" can vary and depend on many other factors. No one just born has is a friend or foe of us and no guarantee that the friendship will forever be our friends. "Friends" and "foes" are divided depending on their behavior attitude toward us. The people that we believe that they love and care for us, we usually see them as close friends and his compassion. The people that we believe they have bad thoughts and wanted to harm us as the enemies of the us. So, we see that people are friends or enemies are based on perceptions of the ideas and emotions that they are for us. So then, no one really are friends or enemies of the us.
We often confuse the actions of one person and the real person. This habit makes us decide that because a certain words or behaviors, he became an enemy of the us. However, the person is not really a you and nor is the enemy. They are not Buddhists or Christians; not the people of China; also not the Tibetans. "in many cases, a person whom we call long may change and become her best friend. So, there is nothing strange when we think: ' Oh! You used to be my enemies in the past, but now we are good friends. "
The other method is to practice equanimity, as well as overcoming emotional bias and discrimination is that we should think that all people are equal and have the same desire to be happy don't like suffering. Plus, we all feel that he has the power to fulfill this desire. How can we advocate for that? Quite simply, it is a part of the basic nature of human beings. I'm not the only one, you also do not have a special privilege at all. My desire to want to be happy and overcome suffering is part of my nature; It is also part of a computer. So, all people are entitled to happiness and avoid suffering simply because people have in common a basic calculator.
Based on the foundation of equality, we should develop rough for everyone. During meditation, we should practice "as myself want to live happy and don't like suffering, everyone else too; himself, of course, has the right to satisfy this desire and the people there ". We should repeat this idea at the time we meditate, and even in everyday life until it's instilled in our hearts.
Also an important thing in the end, as human beings, our happiness depends very much on the lives of people and the survival of the us as a result of contributions from many others. The birth of us depend on our parents. Then, we need the care and the love of our parents for many years. Livelihood, subsistence and accommodation of the US; even success and our reputation is the result of the contributions of countless others. Directly or indirectly, many linked to the existence of us-not to mention our own happiness.
If we extend the analogy beyond the limits of one's life, we can see that many of our before-in fact, since the initial decision coming up, a lot of people have contributed countless mention on our happiness. We can conclude: "We rely on you to that discrimination? Why can express some friendly and hostile to some of the others? We must overcome all discrimination emotion and bias. To help everyone equally the same.
