Compassion is a profound human emotion prompted by the pain of others. More vigorous than empathy, the feeling commonly gives rise to an active desire to alleviate another's suffering. It is often, though not inevitably, the key component in what manifests in the social context as altruism. In ethical terms, the various expressions down the ages of the so-called Golden Rule embody by implication the principle of compassion Do to others as you would have done to you. Ranked a great virtue in numerous philosophies, compassion is considered in all the major religious traditions as among the greatest of virtues. Compassion or karuna is at the transcendental and experiential heart of the Buddha's teachings. He was reputedly asked by his secretary, Ananda, "Would it be true to say that the cultivation of loving kindness and compassion is a part of our practice? To which the Buddha replied, "No. It would not be true to say that the cultivation of loving kindness is part of our practice. It would be true to say that the cultivation of loving kindness and compassion is all of our practice."[citation needed] The first of what in English are called the Four Noble Truths is the truth of suffering or dukkha (unsatisfactoriness or stress). Stress is identified as one of the three distinguishing chacteristics of all conditioned existence. It arises as a consequence of the failure to adapt to change or anicca (the second characteristic) and the insubstantiality - lack of fixed identity, the horrendous lack of certainty - of anatta (the third characteristic) to which all this constant change in turn gives rise. Compassion made possible by observation and accurate perception is the appropriate practical response. The ultimate and earnest wish, manifest in the Buddha, both as archetype and as historical entity, is to relieve the suffering of all living beings everywhere. [2] The Dalai Lama has said, "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." The American monk Bhikkhu Bodhi states that compassion "supplies the complement to loving-kindness whereas loving-kindness has the characteristic of wishing for the happiness and welfare of others, compassion has the characteristic of wishing that others be free from suffering, a wish to be extended without limits to all living beings. Like metta, compassion arises by entering into the subjectivity of others, by sharing their interiority in a deep and total way. It springs up by considering that all beings, like ourselves, wish to be free from suffering, yet despite their wishes continue to be harassed by pain, fear, sorrow, and other forms of dukkha."[citation needed]

4. My child will not be deprived like I was
November 18, 2008
When I was young I had to ride my bicycle to school. During the winters I had no gloves and when I got to school, my hands were frozen for a long time afterwards. Imagine writing an exam paper early in the morning with stiff fingers and a time constraint.
I first saw television when I was 17 years old. I first used a computer in my twenties, and did not own one until I was past thirty. I had to take care of my siblings, because my mother was emotionally absent and my father was physically absent – working his heart out to provide for his family.
I got my first car when I was nea... (read more)

10. Should Millionaires Indulge In Charity?
November 06, 2008
The topic is indeed a highly debated one. On one hand, millionaires who give free money are considered as people with great compassion for the society whereas on the other hand, it is worth noting that millionaires who give free money as donations, might be doing so for the benefit of tax deductions. Both the arguments hold good in today’s scenario. But if I am asked my personal opinion on this, then my answer would be a sure yes, supporting the fact that millionaires who give free money as charity, are definitely a boon to the society.

14. How to Love You: Five Steps on the Journey of Self-Love
October 30, 2008
Something that keeps people from embracing the idea of self-love is religion. Because religion deals a lot with selflessness, caring for others, being kind and good to others, it can feel like a sin to focus any attention on yourself; including the kindness and compassion religion asks you to extend to others.
So, when Fred Rogers of the “Mister Rogers” PBS television program, who was also an ordained Presbyterian minister, has something positive to say about self-love, I sit up and listen! Maybe you will too, for he had this to say, “You can’t really love someone else unless you really... (read more)

16. How can I get my child to stop teasing?
October 24, 2008
The best course is to help him develop his emotional intelligence (loosely defined as the ability to cope with one's own feelings as well as those of others). This will enable him to sense when his teasing is mean-spirited, hostile, or simply inappropriate. Here are some tips:
* Cultivate your child's compassion. Talk to him about feelings -- how emotional blows can hurt as much as physical ones. "You wouldn't throw a rock at that boy, would you? So you shouldn't call him a 'zit-face' either." * Give your child a simple test he can use to judge if his teasing is playful or hurtful:... (read more)

19. Have you lost all your money yet? You may soon!
October 10, 2008
In a word... we feel compassion. I know, to many in this industry, that is an incredibly dirty word. But we all feel it to some degree; be it for the out-of-work traders and brokers, or the investors who are wondering what is going to happen to their future, we all feel some concern. But when it comes to who will receive most of our compassion, my money is on the investors. We hate to have an "I told you so" attitude, but at times it is hard to avoid. But rather than dwell on this compassion, why not capitalize on it? Now is the time to circle the wagons around those struggling consumers, an... (read more)

23. Develop receptive listening as a parent and develop a life skill
September 11, 2008
What is receptive listening? It's the skill of truly listening - figuring out how the other person feels about a situation, and understanding why they feel the way they do. Adding concern shows compassion. And doing this time after time makes you a good receptive listener. It really isn't hard to be a receptive listener, and can make a huge difference between a successful and a failed relationship. Many people develop mental or even physical illness due to the stored pain of never having been listened to properly. Caring enough to take the time to REALLY listen to what a person feels or thinks... (read more)

25. Successful Ways to Communicate with Your Teenager
August 26, 2008
Communication is the single most important aspect when parenting a teenager.
We can give them a sense of compassion, understanding, and support. We can listen to their opinion. We can peacefully discuss a situation.
On the other hand, we can convey to them that we are disappointed and angry about what they did. We can scold them for not doing what we told them to.
The way we respond to, or address, our teenagers will determine if they will come to us for answers and advice the next time.
