What Is The Relationship Between Spirituality And Ethical Practice? Since Love And Compassion And Similar Qualities All, By Definition, Presume Some Level Of Concern For Others' Well-being, They Presume Ethical Restraint. We Cannot Be Loving And Compassionate Unless At The Same Time We Curb Our Own Harmful Impulses And Desires.

Concern For Others

More From Dalai Lama

According To Buddhist Psychology Most Of Our Troubles Stem From Attachment To Things That We Mistakenly See As Permanent.

We Consider That The Lives Of All Beings Are Just As Precious As Our Own, And Through This We Develop A Sense Of Concern For Others.

Concern For Others

Basically, A Human Being Is A Social Animal. So, If You Create Some Short Moment Of Happiness For People, You Get Deep Satisfaction.

Self Satisfaction Alone Cannot Determine If A Desire Or Action Is Positive Or Negative. The Demarcation Between A Positive And A Negative Desire Or Action Is Not Whether It Gives You A Immediate Feeling Of Satisfaction, But Whether It Ultimately Results In Positive Or Negative Consequences.

When We Speak Of A Calm State Of Mind Or Peace Of Mind, We Shouldn't Confuse That With An Insensitive State Of Apathy. Having A Calm Or Peaceful State Of Mind Doesn't Mean Being Spaced Out Or Completely Empty. Peace Of Mind Or A Calm State Of Mind Is Rooted In Affection And Compassion And Is Sensitive And Responsive To Others.
