DALAI LAMA on COMPASSION & EMPATHY<\/p>\n

COMPASSION<\/p>\n

What is COMPASSION? Compassion is the wish that others be free of suffering. It is by means of compassion that we aspire to attain enlightenment. It is compassion that inspires us to engage in the virtuous practices that lead to life\u2019s devotion to serve others. <\/p>\n

EMPATHY<\/p>\n

In the first step toward a compassionate heart, we must develop our empathy or closeness to others. We must also recognize the gravity of their misery. The close we are to a person, the more unbearable we find that person\u2019s suffering. The closeness I speak of is not a physical proximity, nor need it be an emotional one. It is a feeling of responsibility, of concern for a person. In order to develop such closeness, we must reflect upon the virtues of cherishing the well-being of others. We must come to see how this brings one an inner happiness and peace. We must come to recognize how others respect and like us as a result if such attitude toward them. <\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.\u2028Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.\u201d<\/em> ~ Rumi <\/p>\n

——————————————————-<\/p>\n

\u200e”Compassion does not see the faults of others. It does not see the weaknesses of people. It makes no distinction between good and bad people. Compassion cannot draw a line between two countries, two faiths or two religions. Compassion has no ego; thus there is no fear, lust or passion. Compassion simply forgives and forgets. Compassion is like a passage. Everything passes through it. Nothing can stay there. Compassion is love expressed in all its fullness.” ~ Amma<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
