Thought For Today - Saturday 8th March

Wallabies

Before we can generate compassion and love, it is important to have a clear understanding of what we understand compassion and love to be. In simple terms, compassion and love can be defined as positive thoughts and feelings that give rise to such essential things in life as hope, courage, determination, and inner strength. In the Buddhist tradition, compassion and love are seen as two aspects of the same thing: Compassion is the wish for another being to be free from suffering; love is wanting them to have happiness.

    ‘Compassion is the wish for another being to be free from suffering; love is wanting them to have happiness.’

    This part really touched me today.
