A person who is impartial, fair, calm, gentle, serene, accepting and open-hearted is indeed a refuge.
In the person of the Buddha, who had gone beyond the limitations and partialities of selfhood, many experienced a humanity that made them feel that life was endurable. A truly compassionate person touches a chord in us that resonates with some of our deepest yearnings.
People flock to such people, because they seem to offer a haven of peace in a violent, angry world. This is the ideal to which we aspire and it is not beyond our capacity. But even if we achieve only a fraction of this enlightenment and leave the world marginally better because we have lived in it, our lives will have been worthwhile
Undeniably believe that which you stated.
Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Thank you, James.
Last night, on a BBC channel for Gaelic speakers, I thought I saw some of the qualities you describe. The programme concerned a Scottish aid worker who was killed in Afghanistan two years ago, Linda Norgrove, her parents (Lorna and John) and two very different communities.
The programme – Lorgen Linda/Linda’s Story – can be watched on iPlayer at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01n906k until 15th October.
