The true meaning of compassion

Why don't you understand the true meaning of compassion?Because most people don't know where compassion comes from, they delve into the words and study it. Compassion comes from the three minds of the DharmaRenunciation, compassion, bodhichitta

"Great compassion is happy with all sentient beings, great compassion pulls out the suffering of all sentient beings, great compassion is with the causes of joy with sentient beings, and great compassion is with sentient beings with the causes of freedom from suffering. "The Treatise on Great Wisdom".

The three hearts correspond to the three root apparatus qualities, Hinayana, Mahayana, and Mahayana.

The so-called Hinayana is a small mind and a small patternFor people who only feel that they are miserable, and others can't see or want to see how they are, for them, there is only one motivation for change: "I've had enough!".This is renunciation. The stronger the renunciation, the greater the incentive to change. It can also be called pain-driven.

So-calledIn the middle of the vehicle, it is a little bigger in the heartAlthough the pattern is small, you can listen to the guidance of others, how to guide it?Guide them not only to hold on to their own pain, but to care about the people around themIf you want to be free from pain and be happy, help others get rid of pain and be happy.

Kindness is love, and grief is pain. Compassion is to see others happy in your heart, and to be happy when you see others suffering. With such a state of mind, one has tended to be selfless, and it can really be described as a bodhisattva's heart.

The true ability to transcend oneself and achieve selflessness is the standard of MahayanaBodhicitta Bodhi means enlightenment, what is enlightenment?What kind of enlightenment?Enlightenment is not knowledge or ideas, but the awareness of the present, the pursuit of the fundamentals, and the exploration of things.

In the simplest way, it is called "curiosity", a little deeper is called "desire to explore", and a little more magnified is called "philosophy".

To use an analogy, renunciation is like a tire, compassion is like an engine, and bodhichitta is the steering wheel. Bodhichitta is the golden key that really frees us from suffering and attains happiness.

When we start from the system with awareness, it is very easy to see the true meaning behind it, and I like to explore it with awareness first, and then go to life to observe and confirm. If you also like to explore, welcome to follow, practice together, and move forward together.
