Zitat des Tages von Joan Halifax:
For me, Buddhism is a psychology and a philosophy that provides a means, upayas, for working with the mind.
Compassion has enemies, and those enemies are things like pity, moral outrage, fear.
Compassion may be defined as the capacity to be attentive to the experience of others, to wish the best for others, and to sense what will truly serve others.
Many of us think that compassion drains us, but I promise you it is something that truly enlivens us.
My work has been in the field of engaged Buddhism. That is my own practice, which began in 1965 that formed the base for the work I was doing in the civil rights and anti-war movement.
