Compassion
DATE: Oct 01 2007, 1:26 pm / MOOD: Frustrated
We may say, and even half-believe, that compassion is marvelous, but in practice our actions are deeply uncompassionate and bring us and others mostly frustration and distress, and not the happiness we are all seeking. Isn't it absurd that we all long for happiness, yet nearly all our actions and feelings lead us directly away from the happiness? What do we imagine will make us happy? A canny, self-seeking, resourceful selfishness, the selfish protection of ego, which can, as we all know, make us at moments extremely brutal. But in fact the complete reverse is true: Self-grasping and self-cherishing are seen, when you really look at them, to be the root of all harm to others, and also of all harm to ourselves.

A neurotic man is a man who builds a castle in the air. A psychotic is a man who lives in it. A psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent. View Entry | Leave A Comment

What is the nature of the mind like? Imagine a sky, empty, spacious, and pure from the beginning; its essence is like this. Imagine a sun, luminous, clear, unobstructed, and spontaneously present; its nature is like this. Imagine that sun shining out impartially on us and all things, penetrating all directions; its energy, which is the manifestation of compassion, is like this: Nothing can obstruct it, and it pervades everywhere.
