Via Daily Dharma: Feeling Close with Every Creature
For
compassion to develop toward a wide range of persons, mere knowledge of
how beings suffer is not sufficient; there has to be a sense of
closeness with regard to every being.

Via Daily Dharma: How to Be a Bodhisattva in Everyday Life
[The]
wish to be more kind and helpful is the beginning of the bodhisattva
path itself, and the treading of this path … will mainly consist of
small acts of kindness and concern, brief moments of putting others
before ourselves.

Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation / Words of Wisdom - February 9, 2020 💌
It is the continuing work of life: of learning to trust that the universe is unfolding exactly as it should, no matter how it looks to
us; learning to appreciate that each of us has a part in nurturing this
interconnectedness and healing it where it is torn; discovering what our
individual contribution can be, then giving ourselves fully to it.
Demanding as that sounds, it is what, in the spiritual sense, we are all here for, and compassionate action gives us yet one more opportunity to live it. It is an opportunity to cooperate with the universe, to be part of what the Chinese call, "the great river of the Tao."
It is not a coincidence that Hanuman, who in the Hindu cosmology is called the “embodiment of selfless service,” is the son of the wind god; when we give ourselves into becoming fully who we are by doing fully what we do, we experience lightness, we are like kites in wind, we are on the side of the angels, we are entering lightly.
