So Our Future Is In Our Own

Unless We Possess High Spiritual Qualifications, There Is No Doubt That The Events Life Throws Upon Us Will Give Rise To Frustration, Emotional Turmoil, And Other Distorted States Of Consciousness. These Imperfect States Of Mind In Turn Give Rise To Imperfect Activities, And The Seeds Of Suffering Are Ever Planted In A Steady Flow.

We Can Benefit Others Through Our Actions By Being Warm And Generous Toward Them, By Being Charitable, And By Helping Those In Need.

Blessings Don’t Come From Outside, But From Within. Whatever Blessings We Receive Are The Result Of Our Own Efforts And Positive Actions.

More Fundamental Than Religion Is Our Basic Human Spirituality. We Have A Basic Human Disposition Towards Love, Kindness And Affection, Irrespective Of Whether We Have A Religious Framework Or Not. When We Nurture This Most Basic Human Resource - When We Set About Cultivating Those Basic Inner Values Which We All Appreciate In Others, Then We Start To Live Spiritually.

Looking At Various Means Of Developing Compassion, I Think Empathy Is An Important Factor: The Ability To Appreciate Others' Suffering.
