Fill your mind with compassion - Buddha

What is your personal definition of compassion and how important is it to you in life?

If you could do something different to attain more compassion what would it be?

the true feeling you get from walking a mile in another person's shoes... feeling how they feel....

for Jesus dieing for all of our sins....


putting yourself in another person's situation so you can see them through being unselfish.

I attempt each day to extend my hand to some one that needs a shoulder and carry deep compassion in my heart at all times...how are you my friend?

very well put and compassionate to.

I feel good and full of compassion

Off the top of my head, I would define it something like: An understanding of, and concern for, another person's viewpoint, such that it leads to action that is intended to further the emotional well-being of that person.

Of course you do...that's you

That is a great explanation from right off the top of the head and very true what you say.

Tried the compassion thing with my nephews frist wife but she is Bi Polar and no matter how much compassion I have she still makes me angry.

Compassion is something I try and have everyday somedays I have it somedays I don't.

I have a tummy ache, so I need some compassion.

poor baby drink some hot milk and lie down then the tummy will feel so much better

Yes that is indeed painful. You have my compassion!

Yes it can be alot harder then most people think it is to be. Compassion is something one has to learn and practice. I am also learning each day more of this.

Lactose intolerant...

Yes I know but my brain is tired and has no more room to learn something new everyday I have to make a mental check on the way to work every morning let's see I am dressed, my hair is comb, I have shoes on, I brushed my teeth, I look over and see what is to be my lunch for the day it is the sack of garbage I was going to take out on my way to work hmmmmm see what I mean maybe it is the age they tell me when you get older you don't have to agree on anything or like anything or have compassion for anyone..........I wonder what age they were talking about?

We all care about the people we love.

Compassion is to care about a total stranger and feel the impulse to reach out and help them.

If you carry compassion in your heart, you tend to be kind to strangers.

Don't forget to be kind to yourself and to the ones you love even if they annoy you.
