Living with Compassion

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.” Dalai Lama

Compassion is the motivation to help others when you see them suffering. Hence, Humanity compels us to Living Life with Compassion. Thus, compassion is what makes on help some else who is suffering physically, emotionally, spiritually or mentally.

The Dalai Lama very appropriately said that if you want others to be happy, practice compassion. Thus if you want to be happy, practice compassion. Hence, below are 5 things to do become more compassionate. According to The Dalai Lama being compassionate not only makes the other person happy, but it also makes you happy.

• Have Compassion for yourself:

First thing to remember, is to start with yourself, be gentler kinder and forgiving with yourself. By the same token, forgive yourself for your past mistakes. As the saying goes charity begins at home. Just think about it, how can you be more compassionate with others if you don’t love yourself.

• Deal with Genuine concern:

Secondly, when dealing with the other person, deal with genuineness and, the person who is suffering doesn’t just need your time, money and effort, they also need your genuine concern. Hence, remember compassion comes from the heart.

• Listen

Listen to the other person problem, don’t be dismissive, don’t jump into resolving the problem, but with compassion and care, listen to what the other person has to say. Practice compassion by listening to the individual who is suffering.

• Speak from your heart:

Speak to the person who is suffering, with love and affection, speak from your heart. Even if you aren’t in a position to help them, listen to them, and after listening to them speak from your heart. There is a difference from speaking from your mind versus speaking from your heart. The message from the heart is full of compassion and love.

Thus, living with Compassion is a learned behavior. People believe that certain people are more compassionate than others, while this is true, this doesn’t prevent anyone else from learning how to be more compassionate towards other living beings.

“Let us fill our hearts with our own compassion – towards ourselves and towards all living beings.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
