When it comes to personal happiness there is a lot that we as individuals can do. When you are grateful, you act out of a sense of enough and not out of a sense of scarcity, and you are willing to share. If you are grateful, you are enjoying the differences between people and respectful to all people. The grateful world is a world of joyful people. Grateful people are joyful people. A grateful world is a happy world. It receives beautiful water from the rivers, and the water goes dank.
I mean, it just goes bad. And that's why it is the Dead Sea. It receives and does not give. In the end generosity is the best way of becoming more, more, and more joyful. The question is not: How do I escape? It is: How can I use this as something positive? You open, you blossom, really because of other people. And I think some suffering, maybe even intense suffering, is a necessary ingredient for life, certainly for developing compassion. I felt fear more times than I can remember, but I hid it behind a mask of boldness.
He taught that when you experience some tragic situation, think about it. So I practice that. And if nothing can be done about it, what use is there for being dejected?
You can think about others who are in a similar situation or perhaps even in a worse situation, but who have survived, even thrived. It does help quite a lot to see yourself as part of a greater whole.
When we see others as separate, they become a threat. When we see others as part of us, as connected, as interdependent, then there is no challenge we cannot face—together. If you are filled with negative judgment and anger, then you will feel separate from other people. You will feel lonely. As one of the seven billion human beings, I believe everyone has the responsibility to develop a happier world.
In other words, kindness or compassion, which is lacking now. It is not practicing the Dharma properly to listen with the intention of gaining material advantage or reputation. Neither should our goal be higher rebirth in the next life, nor should we be wishing only for our own liberation from samsara. These are all attitudes we should reject. Instead, let us listen to the teachings with the determined wish to attain the state of omniscience for the sake of all beings. I can solve more problems in hell.
I can help more people there. It is quite obvious that there are two levels of spirituality—spirituality with religious faith and that without.
As long as we remain human, there is no way that we can neglect this. The Buddha himself says that understanding must come through investigation logic and reasoning. Not just faith. In this kind of society people who value affection and compassion are treated like fools. While those whose priority is making money become more and more arrogant. To be angry on behalf of those who are treated unjustly means that we have compassionate anger. This type of anger leads to right action and leads to social change.
To be angry towards the people in power does not create change. It creates more anger, more resentment, more fighting. Published By Wisdom Publications, Published By Penguin Viking, Published By Hanover Press, Inner World By H.
