“Compassion is often thought of as akin to pity, but whereas pity may be condescending, compassion springs from a sense of the equality and interconnectedness of life. Genuine compassion is about empowering others, helping them unlock strength and courage from within their lives in order to overcome their problems.”

The most basic wish of all people is to live happily. Yet human society is shaped by forces that work powerfully against this basic desire: from pervasive violence, to wanton environmental destruction, to the exploitation that structures such deep inequalities between people. Courtesy July 2010 SGI Quarterly

“Buddha means the fully Enlighten One, perfect in Wisdom and Compassion. He got Enlighten without any help from others. He is known as the Teacher of Gods and Men. He is dead now. Dhamma, The Teachings of the Buddha, are helping us in our everyday life. The Buddha is therefore alive. The Dhamma teaches us to do good, avoid doing bad and make our mind happy. The Buddha wants us come and see his teachings and to think and ask questions when we are in doubt and to experience the goodness in it.” Source: D-Kidz
