The
essence of compassion is to copy how you relate with your child (in
your relationships with others). The problem is how much you want to
be the head of the family or the ringleader of your friends. You
know, if that ambition is not there, but you have a genuine
willingness to share, that is precisely the concept of sangha, or the
Buddhist community, in traditional terms. You are willing to be
friends with everybody, but at the same time you are not particularly
taking credit. You don’t make people depend on you. Everybody can
stand on his or her own feet. The ideal of helping is to make others
independent of you. You help them to become more independent rather
than making them addicted to you.

In
our world be kind and compassion sound sometimes weak but in our time
that the most strong attitude and behavior we should develop .
Our
world have never change since kalpas as say Buddha himself the same
suffering coming and never end, Garchen Rinpoche have say in
Vajrakilaya Teaching, just have look on what's happening in Japan
and you will have a simple idea of hell.
That
true that if we look just to our daily news our world is everything
but in peace, war is everywhere, people suffering by all kind of
sufferance even in our modern country and time, we think that we are
happy but that an illusion.
So
in this terrible world we live do kindness and compassion can be the
way to heal us from all of this ?
The
more kind we will act the more kind the world will change we can see
the result of our behavior right now, look just now in your google
news or BBC news whatever ! Try this if you don't see one story of
war our murder our somebody suffering.
When
you realize that, then you realize also you need to heal yourself
from that and also heal other that the work on compassion and
kindness.
