4. Compassion and the practice of compassionCompassion is the basis of the Dhamma, the mind of the Buddhas marrow Bodhisattva. Oldest of the Bodhisattva of compassion are manifest, all the acts are from the motivation of compassion. Thus says the Bodhisattva as great compassion that is not in itself. Why do not order now? Because the Bodhisattva can not get his wish to act as the guideline, but only the call of compassion in the hearts intrinsic desire to take the motto of being made. In that spirit beings, the Bodhisattva can not follow, because they think being worried that if they want to stop being, the Bodhisattva can not not stop. Bodhisattva because people forget, all because they are born, not to their benefit that calculation.
Compassion of the Bodhisattva is distinguished into four heart: love, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. Since the benefits of bringing peace to the world and the beings of the world. Bi is to save sentient beings escape from suffering, to eradicate the disease of birth and death of beings. Joy is happy to see non-suffering beings be happy, to see the joy of being like his own pleasure. Discharge of resentment or relatives who are equal, do not remember thinking about the past plaintive grace of beings that distinguish loves. "Bringing peace", "removal of suffering" is the main contents of compassion. But if a collective identity that others happiness which our discomfort; mind born of hatred, or personal feelings too seriously this is not love but hate the other, it decided not likely to lead to compassion impartial equality. Therefore, the Bodhisattva must not only have compassion, but also need to rejoice discharge. Compassion joy new exhaust aggregated feet right into the Bodhisattva mind.
But only compassion alone is not enough, but compassionate action is required. In other words, the Bodhisattva must be from the real action, to enrich the contents of compassion, but not just thinking. It is well known tha interests, general are: generosity, kindly, good practice and colleagues (Four photographic solutions). Handouts on economic issues, or is using the labor effort, even sacrifice my life to, collectively, account experimentally. Using thought to arise guide, brought the Dhamma to only display even a question but a comment that being able to depart from evil towards good heart, are called the experimental method. As consciousness is suffering, or live in grim circumstances, the disappointment of thousands of suffering, take the Bodhisattva Dharma to display only instructions, using the means and capacity to support, that being escape from sorrow, suffering, fear, no fear here is experimental. Giving three broad categories, can generally benefit all tha happy, if separated from charity, ie no sense of compassion anymore! But done well benefit others also need to be more kindly, benefits administration and colleagues.
Ai language is cordial, harmonious ingenuity, or advice shall be honest, comes from compassion, to feel the enemy in good faith, committed volunteers that receive attention. If not, as for the indigent and meet urgent problem, which provides voice contempt, arrogance, parade columns for objects, if they have self-esteem self-esteem, they will not get refused; or only reluctantly received, and appeared in the offensive center. As comment on other people or things, if in good faith, is constructive, it is easy to get people to go to improve reception. Otherwise, even a hundred thousand times exactly say the true way, but if the other side had the feeling then, it will lead to misunderstandings and complex disorders.
Taking advantage of speaking the language if that is the cause of contemporary welfare state, providing benefits for everyone.
His colleagues is the cam plus size people. In terms of collaboration, respect equal enjoyment of everyone, this will make everyone feel the most.
Bodhisattva of compassion can not be beneficial to others methods. Kindly, benefits administration and colleagues, making alms becomes effective, method is capable of reaching the true benefit to all beings. Four methods are the primary method for compassionate economic beings, in harmony with living beings, as a leader should have this virtue. Bodhisattva "exalted leader", but not as powerful leaders, but always for the purpose of compassionate economic beings. If you do not know that, then nothing more can not afford life photography beings can not fulfill the purpose of bringing benefit to mankind. From compassion arises in giving so happy ... is what the Bodhisattva must be complete. Bodhisattva leadership, which is not limited to politics, but in all classes and occupations, the Bodhisattva of compassion centered behavior will rise to leadership effects. As Duy-ma-lay hard, he was in everyone, is the most precious.
5. Nurturing compassion
Compassion is the heart that everyone has, just not able to amplify, forsake suicidal stance and small, should be contamination, go to loving individual. So with all bays of ancient tiger: "Tiger head hundred animals, who would work to it, only parental love, every step every step of looking". Since it is a common love of the charming, cruel as the tiger is still present. Therefore important to practice compassion is to promote it, purify it, not narrow self defacing, head support, as well as cultivate the seeds, care for it to grow.
According to the teaching of the ancient sage, chief nursing compassion, strategy has two main methods.
a. Change location to another to see things:
Put yourself in the position of the enemy, the enemy in his position, this should behave like? For that matter how to handle? Everyone knows, no man who does not love yourself, no one is not committed to take power for himself, his neighbor and so on and so on. Bring your own self-love story that reasoning to others, put yourself in that position to think of others, bring others into his own view that consideration, the natural feelings of compassion that will arise. In the "Dhammapada verses 129 and 130 of" Buddha "All tremble at punishment, all fear death. Get yourself to think, not to kill not to kill. People are afraid of punishment, people prefer to live longer. Get yourself to think, do not kill does not kill. "This agree with the forgiving grace of Confucianism, but still only promote the charity of individuals, although able to support growth of compassion, but not be completely purified.
b. Animosity and reflect the relative equality:
Also a personal favorite, parents, spouses children are most cordial, most closely related. But the difficulty arises to make his most compassionate, that is his resentment, hostility. For ease of practice, to foster compassion, open your heart in order from a relative to non-relatives, and finally the resentment.
Everyone - being, divided into three categories: Body, on average, resentment. In the third kind, still may be divided into several levels. First for family members, friends, reflect their anguish that sought to eliminate, that they can not but think how blessed fortune to give them. Practice to the suffering of a loved one happy, happy as his own suffering, in-depth into our own inner, always thinking of how to be happy-suffering people.
Then expand to the middle, ie people without food or resentment in me. Reflect deeply serious, they are gifts for her, especially since beginningless far, not one where the parents, our teachers? For the fun of their suffering, arise deep compassion, practice as if they reached the house, who with his grace. If bootable compassion for them, they are scalable to the plaintive enemy. But once the enemy of our resentment, or current is the same, but the past is when they are our benefactors, why? Why just remember that we forget about hatred grace and love? When resentment or become the enemy, not being born has been such a nature, that is only affected by the govern wrong, or material temptations of sex, because negativity is not allowed in urgent . See them as wrong as evil, senseless fool, so they wander mercy, forgiving tolerance, help them, so why let little resentment toward them that are angry with them? Relatives or the plaintive story is not certain. As with loved ones, do not take the Dhamma, does not take kindly compassion that behavior, then the enemy will turn into resentment. For resentment enemy, if they are able to bring the light of the Dhamma, offers heartfelt compassion that treat, you will become more cordial. So why not start with compassion for the enemy resentment, why not because they think that any method that enables them to be happy-suffering?
Bring a lot of observers, considered in order to reach to achieve equality body shop resentment, resentment against the enemy that starts compassion, compassion common to all around, here's compassion of Buddhism. So compassion needs to nurture, promote it; section refers to the practice is easy to arise most compassionate.
6. To experience compassion
Part of it comes to nurturing compassionate methods are still the secular bias. A scholar sravakas parts that compassion is that charming with secular arise, this is not the fundamental meaning of the Dhamma. Under the law Mahayana compassion with wisdom, which have nothing against each other. The flow in the sense of human contamination, the emotional and rational nor absolutely separated the two types together. So say two things that can help each other respectively, can also say that in a flow of consciousness. As the infected turn into pure intelligence can be certified, is also an expression of compassion; decided not inclined to reason, but filled with heartfelt compassion. Like the great Buddha who sense, the end is great wisdom, is also shown great compassion of the Supreme. If the leaves start compassion that comes to practice or attainment, which would not be a fall in foreign direct customers, it also increases the upper side of the sub-cards!
Because compassion is divided into three types:
a. They are predestined from birth:
This is a normal loving qualities. No falling out are not legal, it is thought that being, that being a size is happy, that arise from bi agreement. Such kindness, no matter the age of, charity, and finally remained in the story of birth and death.
b. From the French coast:
As enlightened beings understand the selfless nature, but nature is still low base, have not been able to thoroughly understand all the legal No, this is the center of the cross bar scene and Pratyekabuddha text. I see the suffering of samsara industry - iron rings cause and effect, is forever being circulated which are not liberated from this that manual initialization compassion. From the French coast is not without health is being communicated to the self, which is connected with being in harmony. Without the Russian coast in general, how likely arise from the bi!
c. Countless charming from:
This is different with excess II, only enlightened beings is not that the truth is legal; Bodhisattva Buddhas of all radical measures not. But this is not only generally very emptiness of grace, that when the law not fully certified, then pretend to understand the human being. They started pretending existent ultimate no news, "the ultimate being no such obstacles." Wisdom and compassion also said intellectually, ie the bi-vouchers (only one Bat-elegant solutions, depending on the basis of that established under other names), appearing sincere compassion, mercy on the suffering of beings. Buddhist Bodhisattva was certified, if they are not only nature, how compassion can start? Thus, to encourage compassion begins to appear, must break into our beings.
But the observance of the first minister being true; Monday of truth is not being accepted, but it is accepted as law; only Mahayana ungainly from the legal reach the ultimate fall No, have legal self as illusory posing. Some people do not understand the profound meaning of Mahayana thought only possible evidence of Mahayana equally charming nature with common law, only the rational side. Without knowing the evidence of Mahayana, one of the compassionate intellectual equal. Separate from the review of bi attainment, there is no visibility play wins special merit of the Bodhisattva Buddhas. Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism from which arises a little, thinking they could see "people can" up the idea of abundance, for that is the same temporary access to the evidence of the Mahayana. But Confucianism is not fully capable of self inward very nature, also out of mind (also the comparison over again), the same can not be discussed with Buddhism.
In the present population of legal nature, in "Doing A-levels," which has four names, are actually compatible with the four legal appeals set.
Very own (very willing) ... .... The impermanence of
Boundless ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. These are life size
No ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .... The legal-self
Formless ... ... ... ... ... ... .... Nirvana tranquility
Soot is unconscionable-ly education, significant similarities to No, formless, very willing. But while Buddhism sravakas Xien positive, the conscience-forgotten black. They do not know, is not boundless finite volume, while outward to reflect on the joy discharge compassion, common to all sentient beings without limit amount, then known as the four immeasurable. When inward to contemplate, nature of beings can not and does not limit the amount of their nature and people. Thus conscience-black district is consistent relative idea of dependent origination, and his equals. Communication correlates of self-tha nature, nature equal position with the ball is nothing to reconcile different. When unscrupulous black-forgotten, voiced Buddhist bias sravakas. Center's basic Buddhist marrow - compassion, ignored, hidden eroded, it is an unfortunate event of early Buddhism. When Mahayana Buddhism inspired, newly laid out open. Therefore, the disciple of Buddha can, as appeals to the spirit of the Buddha, is certainly not lacking experience balance of reason, which is the real position of bi reconcile. As an expression of absolute truth, as well as complete moral Supreme (impartial compassion equality). Only the supreme virtue - great compassion are capable of the true radical that the Bat-elegant. So said: "Mind is the Buddha of great compassion."
