~Compassion~ Benevolence of the Heart in All Sentient Beings
-
Merry Meet To All,
May Compassion be practised in this Heartland of Light & Wisdom...
All Sentient being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. One experiences Oneself, thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of One's consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison or cage for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison or cage by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and the whole of nature in its beauty. Ain't it so? I believe Compassion reside in all Sentient Being's Heart with Benevolence of Life. May All be Well & Happy...
Blessed Be,

Something I like to share with all Fellow Dharma brothers & sisters...
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
~His Holiness Dalai Lama
"when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings."
~ Sogyal Rinpoche

For Example, this old Lady who need a Dog to guard her house & notify her of intruders, irregardless of what breed, "A Dog that can Bark is a Good Dog"! Don't you reckon that?

Integrating a whole paragraph of quote made by another wise person into your own post without putting quotation marks or any mention of the originator is an obvious sign of dishonesty.

"Obviously, this is a perfect specimen of the canine breed... Of coz not of pedigree breed...but sure can bark...maybe its the wrong tree...ha ha ha "

Yes. Actually, Albert Einstein is quite a wise person.
"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which is based on experience, which refuses dogmatism. If there's any religion that would cope the scientific needs it will be BuddhismÂ…"
Another one:
-- Albert Einstein"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity" Albert Einstein
I do believe that if Dharma Centres are set up during his times at his place, he could have become a Buddhist.Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world. - Albert Einstein
