Here we come to the last lesson from the book of the XIV Dalai Lama "The road to true " edited by Jeffrey Hopkins (ed. Oscar Mondadori, 2009).
After learning about the ethical foundations (and I hope to have them put into practice!) For individual liberation, consisting essentially of patience and do no harm to others, as we see today cultivate the art of helping others . In this last article of the series " how to overcome physical and mental suffering ..." I share on the basis of what I actually achieved, the 7 benefits of this "practice spiritual "
- listen to people with much more care and respect for ideas
- greater interest in the life of friends and relatives
- offer their time and energy to those who do not know
- transmit positive and calm in dealing with any obstacles
- sincerely rejoice in the successes and small targets
- ask others with genuine interest to people " how are you?"
- best wishes also to those who hurt others
practicing patience with perseverance can be grown more easily another virtue, compassion. The true compassion is easy to feel for his family and close friends, but the task is very difficult to come into play when persons unknown or almost unknown, even worse when it comes to those who we consider our "enemies."
In reality it is the so-called "enemies" that there are huge opportunities for improvement:
For those who practice love and compassion, an enemy is one of the most important teachers. Without an enemy you can not practice tolerance, and no tolerance you can not build a solid foundation for compassion. To practice compassion must therefore have an enemy (Shantideva, Indian yogi and scholar)According to the teachings of Shantideva, you must first understand that every human being aspires to happiness and wanting to escape from suffering, like you and me. Flip
more often than not you're the only person on this earth who has this need and the struggle alone can bring to your maximum pleasure to your satisfaction. No matter how important you are, you're always an individual and everyone has an equal right to achieve happiness, we all belong to the same family.
