Kindness don't have comfort zone


16) Even if someone for whom one has cared as lovingly as his own child regards
one as an enemy, to cherish that person as dearly as a mother does an ailing child
is the bodhisattvas’ practice


In the practice 16 of the 37 practice of bodhisattvas, we have to cared for our enemy, that something not usual because,when there's disturbance someone become opponent.

If we look to the saints of time like the Karmapa or the Dalai lama or Mother Theresa, they never ever stop to be kind, even when for the Karmapa and Dalai lama there country have been taken by the Communist party they continue to be kind.

Mother Theresa was not in such and such mood in morning and she was not able to have compassion for this poor kids in India she was kind all the time.

So do we found some excuses to not be kind ?

The big one is we are not realise buddha, buddha was not realise buddha but he was able to generate compassion for others, so maybe we find some excuses on that.

Our Greatest Fear 

it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson


Like Marianne Williamson say that not our darkness that most frighten us but our light, we are in this society we are afraid to be good, but when we are around such person as Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje or Garchen Rinpoche we feel really what is compassion and pure love without calculation and have this strange feeling.

Yes discover compassion and love is the most precious asset we can have, in deeper level, when we are compassionate nothing bad can touch us, if we are lead by emotion then we suffer we have to develop this roots like a tree everyday and ground ourself .

Compassion is an all time this not one time thing we generate all time compassion not one time.
