Be A Good Human Being, A Warmhearted,

To Help Us Bring Benefit To Others Through Our Words And Actions, It Is Useful To Cultivate An Attitude Of Sympathetic Joy In Others’ Achievements And Good Fortune. This Attitude Is A Powerful Antidote Against Envy, Which Is Not Only A Source Of Unnecessary Suffering On The Individual Level But Also An Obstacle To Our Ability To Reach Out And Engage With Others.

As Human Beings We Are All The Same. We Have This Marvelous Intelligence, Which Sometimes Creates Problems For Us, But When Influenced By Warm-heartedness Can Be Very Constructive. In This Context We Need To Appreciate The Value Of Having Moral Principles.

I Believe All Suffering Is Caused By Ignorance.

When We Are Motivated By Compassion And Wisdom, The Results Of Our Actions Benefit Everyone, Not Just Our Individual Selves Or Some Immediate Convenience. When We Are Able To Recognize And Forgive Ignorant Actions Of The Past, We Gain Strength To Constructively Solve The Problems Of The Present.

We Are Beset By Problems And If We Look For Their Source, We Find They Arise Because Of Our Selfishness, Because We Tend To Pursue Our Own Interests At The Expense Of Others. Our Various Religious Traditions Exist To Help Us Reduce These Problems. They All Teach Ways To Overcome Suffering Through Cultivating Love And Compassion, Tolerance, Patience And Contentment.
