Compassion
- Help the world in any way that you want to. I have found that the more light you give and spread, the more you will evolve.
- Compassion allows us to accept everything. That's why there's always a tear in the eye of the Buddha that no one sees, for the pain and suffering of others.
- You only become funny when you have a complete reverence for life.
- Energy is gained by giving energy. When we give energy, we gain energy. This is different than having someone manipulate you and take your energy.
- The essence of the teachings is to lose self importance and to care more for the welfare of others and the magical world around us, than we do for ourselves and our own self images.
- Selfless giving is love in action. Initially you will feel that you should help in a certain way, with a certain result. Do your best, but don't be concerned with results; do it for the infinite.
- The action of giving is in a certain vibratory level, meaning giving exists in a certain plane of consciousness.
- One of the traditional Tantric methods of mediation is to imagine that you are taking on the suffering of all beings.
- Advance yourself by advancing others. Do not judge others. Be of service to them, but realize that you are not necessarily the instrument of perfecting and immortalizing others.
- As we hate ourselves less, we tend to hate other people less too.
- In self-giving you must be so careful of egotism. You must be so careful when you are aiding others in their liberation not to have a sense of self.
- To think that God is compassionate is a terrible mistake. To think that God is wrathful is equally stupid. God isn't emotional. You are. To superimpose your emotions on infinity is typically human.
- I respect self-giving and I've tried to lead my life with that as the ideal. But real self-giving is when we take our being, that which is most precious to us, and we throw it into eternity with a total sense of offering.
- Selfless-giving burns away the layers of the onion. Purity and humility keep meditation and selfless-giving clear. Love radiates through the entire practice because we do all of it only for love.
- Love the fading flowers as much as you love the undifferentiated which lasts forever.
- There is no time when we really love each other. That's the magic of love. When we really love each other, there is no time. Love is self-realization. Love is liberation. The only way beyond time, to unravel the knot of existence, is to love.
