Compassion is a uniquely human quality. Compassion is made up of two words, 'co' meaning together and 'passion' meaning a strong feeling. And this is what compassion is. When we see someone in distress and we feel their pain as if it were our own, and strive to eliminate or lessen their pain, then this is compassion. So all the best in human beings, all the Buddha-like qualities like sharing, readiness to give comfort, sympathy, concern and caring – all are manifestations of compassion. You will notice also that in the compassionate person, care and love towards others has its origins in care and love for oneself. We can really understand others when we really understand ourselves. We will know what's best for others when we know what's best for ourselves. We can feel for others when we feel for ourselves. So in Buddhism, one's own spiritual development blossoms quite naturally into concern for the welfare of others. The Buddha's life illustrates this very well. He spent six years struggling for his own welfare, after which, he was able to be of benefit to the whole of mankind. ~ Ven. S. Dhammika

Jendhamuni Sos that was something i don't know how i should call it, so nice of u have a great day .

Sorry it means sharing someone's suffering. Passion is Latin for suffering, like the passion of the Christ. Over the centuries the meaning has shifted somehow, but I keep the meaning as taught by my English teacher.

Compassion is a feeling. It is a stage of mind when we feel the pain and grief of others as if the cause of pain and grief has occurred to us. However, it may or may not result in action depending upon the circumstances. When it results in action, it becomes help or support but even when it is not able to translate itself into action, it remains a virtue of our heart and soul telling ourselves that the soul is still alive. One such incident in the life of Buddha was the annihilation of his "shakya" tribe by Vidudhaba, the King of Kosala. Although Buddha could do little to save the 'shakya" people he did grieve for the loss of life and violence committed by the ruler of Kosala.

Gosto das mensagens da Jen , mas, embora as perceba bem, tenho deficuldadade em responder em Inglês,.Vou por isso reponder em Portuuês que poderá traduzir.
Deixou bem claro o que é compaixão e a filosofia de Buda.
Deixei de acreditar na religião que me imposeram, quando eu ainda não tinha votade própria.
Hoje, felizmente para mim, não acredito em qualquer religião, por menos perniciosa que ela seja.
Apesar disso, enquanto é possivel, enquanto as pessoas estão vivas, sou capaz de prestar a minha ajuda possível num momento de aflião.
É como um impulso instinvo, sem nome concreto.
Não tento cativar quem quer que seja para me seguir na minha descrença na crença.
Que sejam felizes os crentes, desde que a sua crença não lolida com caminhos assumidos na diferença.
O brigado pelas suas mensagens.
