If You Are Showing Love

Giving Up Attachment To The World Does Not Mean That You Set Yourself Apart From It. Generating A Desire For Others To Be Happy Increases Your Humanity. As You Become Less Attached To The World, You Become More Humane. As The Very Purpose Of Spiritual Practice Is To Help Others, You Must Remain In Society.

It's Not Enough To Be Compassionate. You Must Act.

I Pray For All Of Us, Oppressor And Friend, That Together We Succeed In Building A Better World Through Human Understanding And Love, And That In Doing So We May Reduce The Pain And Suffering Of All Sentient Beings.

From A Buddhist Point Of View, The Actual Experience Of Death Is Very Important. Although How Or Where We Will Be Reborn Is Generally Dependent On Karmic Forces, Our State Of Mind At The Time Of Death Can Influence The Quality Of Our Next Rebirth. So At The Moment Of Death, In Spite Of The Great Variety Of Karmas We Have Accumulated, If We Make A Special Effort To Generate A Virtuous State Of Mind, We May Strengthen And Activate A Virtuous Karma, And So Bring About A Happy Rebirth.

The Way To Change Others' Minds Is With Affection, And Not Anger.
