Be
good to yourself. You will train other people to do the same!
-Buddha
Once we have the ability
to mercy to others, or mercy ourselves, we are on the way to once again exist
in that reality of pure love. We all need mercy. We need to offer
mercy to each other and be willing to receive it from each other. Metta can make you happy. Tender mercy can
make you happy. Buddha's universal mercy is infinite and endless. Buddha taught us universal Truth.
Buddha was born BC 623. Buddha taught
us how to practice Metta/mercy meditation and kindness to others since BC 588.
Lord Buddha attained enlightenment and became Supreme Buddha at the age of 35
(BC 588). Buddha was died (Parinirvana) at the age of 80 in BC 543. Lord Buddha taught the truth for 45
years until his final passing away into Nibbana (Parinirvana) on a full moon
day in 543 BC.
Mercy
is the practice of meditation as taught by kindness and friendliness. Buddha
since BC 588 (2,602 years ago), it is an important component of the wisdom of
Buddhist teachings and practices in their everyday use in life.
No love no human
No mercy no success
No mercy no charity
No mercy no humanity
No mercy no goodness
No mercy no heart
No mercy no benevolence
No mercy no glory
Once again exist in that
reality of pure love. Mercy is a prime essential to everyone. Metta is a prime
essential to everyone.
One must have love (metta)
and respect for one's own country, religion, literature, family, culture,
nationality for all in the same way. They love and respect to their country, their
religion, their literature, their family, their culture and their
nationality. Pure love (Metta) and
forgiveness are most famous of Buddhism. Forgiving someone can be difficult.
Why do we need to forgive others? How can we forgive a person? The Bible can
provide us with answers, inspiration and direction. Then the teaching of Buddha
can provide us with answers, inspiration and direction.
"Avoid all evils; do all good things;
purify one's mind. These are the summary
of the teachings of Buddha". Besides
avoiding all evils and doing all that are good, we need to purify our thoughts.
When our thoughts have been purified, then the mind is pure. The purpose of
learning and practicing Buddhism is to purify the human mind. If the mind of
everyone in the family is pure, then our home is pure; if the mind of everyone
in this society is pure, then our society is pure; if the mind of everyone in
the country is pure, then our land is pure; if the entire human race in the
world is pure.
According to the Buddha
teachings, our thoughts determine who we are. If a man can control his mind he
can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally
come to him”.
"Do not
dwell in the past; do not
dream of the future, concentrate
the mind on the present moment."
-Buddha-

There are various religions as Hinduism,
Buddhism, Christianity and Islam as in the World. One must have love and
respect for one's own country, religion, literature, family, culture,
nationality for all in the same way. They love and respect to their country,
their religion, their literature, their family, their culture and their
nationality.
There are different
kinds of countries, races, thoughts, religions, such as Chinese/China,
Indian/India, Burmese/Burma, Thai/Thailand, English/England, Japanese/ Japan,
American/U.S.A and Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim. These factors were very
important of the World and everyone. It must not be neglected. It must not be
insulted. We should show respect to other. The way is
not in the sky. The way is in the heart.
We need to demonstrate
respect for each other and for relationships, not for power and control. We
need to win other’s respect, not try to demand or force it. By force respect
might bring compliance but it doesn’t build true respect for each other. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
All human beings are equal in dignity and rights. We should appreciate others as much as we can. But the essential factor is not races, religions, positions, etc.
Mental attitude, honesty, diligence, character, unity, patience, justice, optimism, forgiveness, love, mercy, peace, open-minded, sacrifice, humility, moral ethics, etc are more important above all.
One must be able to one self analyze. Each and every one of us
should follow and live according to the teachings of one's own religion. The
one who does not respect another's culture and religion does not respect his
own. The one who respects another's culture and religion respects his own.
All the teachings concerning culture, thoughts, opinion, beliefs
and practices are valuable in their own ways. The important factor is that the
follower of the concerned religion must follow the teachings sincerely.
Although I, myself a Theravada
Buddhist, I obey the
teachings of Lord Buddha, but I appreciate the teachings of other religions and
the appreciation of other nationalities and their culture are all noble and
valuable in their own way.
There cannot be 100% similarities among religions, nationalities, any opinions, cultures, philosophies, skin hues, mental attitudes, sex, language, political, social origin, property, visions of people in the World. There would be more beneficence from performance of seeing with love and sympathetic mind (with optimistic view) for a particular thing rather than blaming or extreme criticize (with a pessimistic view) in contrast to others. Look on the bright side, please.
Now love to these should
be kind, tender, and affectionate, reciprocal and mutual; such should love one
another; there should be no love wanting on either side; and it ought to be
universal, and reach to all the saints, though of different gifts, light,
knowledge and experience, or whether high or low, rich or poor; and should show
itself by bearing one another's burdens, bearing with, and forbearing each
other, forgiving one another, and by edifying one another in their most holy
faith, and praying with, and for one another.
Every cloud has a silver
lining means that you should never feel hopeless
because difficult times always lead to better days. Difficult times are like
dark clouds that pass overhead and block the sun. When we look more closely at
the edges of every cloud we can see the sun shining there like a silver lining.
Every cloud has a silver lining means that the sun shining at the edges
of every cloud reminds us that every difficult situation has a bright side. Look on the bright side,
please.
Pessimistic people are
more likely to be depressed, fail, be poor achievers, have poor health
(especially as we age) and suffer electoral defeat! Optimists handle stress
better, bounce back from setbacks more quickly, have better health, sell more,
achieve more and are more creative - among many other things!
The
English culture is best for the English, while the Burmese culture is good for
the Burmese. The Indian culture is also best for the Indian people, while the
Chinese culture is good for the Chinese people. Likewise, Christians must obey
the teachings of the Bible, Buddhists must obey the teaching of Buddhism,
Hindus must obey the teachings of the Hinduism and Muslims must obey the
teachings of Quran.

Hate is not conquered by hate:
Hate is conquered by love. This
is eternal law.
- Buddha-
The Dhammapada in Buddhism says:
–

·
Conquer anger by pure love/metta
·
Conquer hate by pure love/metta
·
Conquer evil by good
·
Conquer the miser by generosity
·

·
Conquer arrogance by humility
·
Conquer war by peace
·
Conquer enemy by forgiveness
·
Conquer the liar by truth.
The mind is almost always impure, and it almost always
brings in bad thoughts. Even when it is not doing this, the mind is still a
victim to doubt, jealousy, hypocrisy, fear and other unholy qualities. Meditation can be said to purify the
mind by making it easier to develop generosity and compassion, and then to
finally acquire wisdom. Meditation can be said
to be the highest form of Buddhist practice as the Buddha himself attained
Enlightenment through meditation.
Hence, it is evident that all the religions of the world
bestow upon us the way to success, prosperity and happiness. In my opinion, if
all of us sincerely obey the teachings accordingly, the World would be a happy
place to live.
Buddha says: “Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.”
You shall love your
neighbor as yourself!
To
understand everything is to forgive everything!
The Buddha
teachings are all about understanding that the
source of all love and wisdom is within our self. Almost people claim that
Buddhism is the most peaceful religion in the world. Some Many scientists say
that Buddhism is more scientific than modern science. So Buddhism is the most
scientific religion in the world.
Like science, Buddhism
is based on verifiable cause-and-effect relationships. The famous Kalama Sutta
of Buddhism states that one cannot believe fully in "what one is taught,
tradition, hearsay, scripture, logic, inference, appearance, agreement with
established opinion, the seeming competence of a teacher, or even in one's own
teacher". Buddha said that “you must not believe anything which you cannot
test yourself.” Buddhism challenges everything, including Logic and Science. Then
Buddhism is neither pessimistic nor optimistic but a realistic religion.
The three root sufferings, called the three poisons, are
(1) greed, (2) anger, and (3) delusion.
Everybody must abstain from self liberates the heart from
greed hatred and delusion and opens the mind to wisdom and the heart to
kindness and compassion.
We need to offer forgiveness if
we do harm. We need to take
that most challenging step to begin the process of recovery, the process of
reconciliation. When we offer forgiveness the person who has
been hurt has the opportunity to begin the process of returning to love. We need to
accept the offer as soon as possible and work towards repairing the
relationship. We often need
to forgive ourselves. This can be quite difficult. We need to
learn to accept our own forgiveness and move on, just as we do when accepting
forgiveness from others or when we offer others forgiveness.
“To let bygones be
bygones” means to forgive another person and have them forgive you for whatever
hurts you may have caused each other. Then, allow the unpleasant things that
have happened in the past to be forgotten. (Let bygones be bygones: Forgive
someone for something he (or) she did in the past and something that you say in
order to tell someone to forget about unpleasant things/ bad-things
that have happened in the past).
Actually, forgiveness is not only about others, but also
about our own spiritual growth. Love and forgiveness cannot be separated.
Mercy and forgiveness are direct manifestations of true
love in any human being. All human beings are capable of mercy and forgiveness.
More even, mercy and forgiveness, a full pardon toward all, is the easiest,
fastest and most relieving act you can commit. There are a lot of people out
there that have had hard lives, bad beginnings/moments. Forgive those who have
done you wrong. Most importantly, though, forgive yourself.
To forgive others and to
be forgiven ourselves is quite a challenging experience! Yet, this is essential for the repairing of any loving relationship.
Once we have the ability to
forgive others, or forgive ourselves, we are on the way to
once again exist in that reality of love
- the meaning of life.
We would like to tell you that forgiveness is one of the Laws of the Universe. It is essential! It is one of the laws that govern this world. Forgiveness in a relationship of love is essential. We all make mistakes and we must make amends and fix the relationship with pure love (Metta).
Metta (pure love) is one of
the Four Brahma Viharas. Brahma in this case has been translated as divine (or)
noble. The word – as qualified in the path of purification – is meant in the
sense of best and immaculate. This is because being best and immaculate is the
best attitude towards beings and those who practice it have clean minds like
those of the Brahma gods.
Vihara means abiding and
living. And so those who practice these are said to be abiding or living in the
divine or noble way.
The Four Brahma Viharas are
1. Metta: (loving kindness displayed to all you meet)
2. Karuna: (compassion or mercy, the special kindness shown to those who suffer)
3. Mudita: (sympathetic joy, being happy for others, without a trace of envy)
1. Metta: (loving kindness displayed to all you meet)
2. Karuna: (compassion or mercy, the special kindness shown to those who suffer)
3. Mudita: (sympathetic joy, being happy for others, without a trace of envy)
4. Upekkha: (equanimity or
levelness, the ability to accept others as they are)
These four are attitudes
towards other beings. They are also favorable relationships. They can also be
extended towards an immeasurable scope of beings and so are called
immeasurable. These four are important in all schools of Buddhism.
Finally one can also
proceed on to the specified and unspecified pervasion of Karuna in the 10
directions.
1. May all beings be
free from suffering
2. May all living things
be free from suffering
3. May all creatures be
free from suffering
4. May all individuals
be free from suffering
5. May all personalities
be free from suffering
6. May all females be
free from suffering
7. May all males be free
from suffering
8. May all deities be
free from suffering
9. May all humans be
free from suffering
10. May all unhappy
states be free from suffering
===10 Directions===
1. In the Easterly direction
may all beings be free from suffering
1. In the Easterly direction
may all beings be free from suffering
2. In the Westerly direction

may all beings be free from suffering
Repeat 10 directions for
all living things, all creatures, all individuals, all personalities, all
female kinds, all male kinds, all nobles, all common folk, all deities, all
humans and all unhappy states.
Once the Deva king Sakka
asked the Buddha, "Why do beings who wish to be free from anger and
ill-will, who do not want to quarrel and be ill-treated, who pray for
happiness, peace and freedom, are yet not free from danger and suffering?"
The Buddha's answer was that all these conflicts, hatred, dangers and suffering are because of envy and miserliness.
The Buddha's answer was that all these conflicts, hatred, dangers and suffering are because of envy and miserliness.
One who is envious is
one who wants to be happier than another but cannot. People like that also
cannot stand others who are happier than themselves. Miserliness also does not
want another to have a share in one's happiness and does not want another to be
as happy as oneself. The result is a lot of fighting and quarrelling. These
have their roots in anger and anger stems from greed and ignorance.
Equanimity is a perfect,
unshakable balance of mind, rooted in insight. But in its perfection and
unshakable nature equanimity is not dull, heartless and frigid. Its perfection
is not due to an emotional "emptiness," but to a "fullness"
of understanding, to its being complete in itself. Its unshakable nature is not
the immovability of a dead, cold stone, but the manifestation of the highest
strength.
Mercy
is patient.
Mercy is forever.
Mercy is forgiveness.
Mercy is a kind.
Mercy has no hatred.
Mercy has no caste system.
Mercy has no skin color.
It does not envy. It does not get angry.
