Day 300 Value of Compassion

Day 300

วันที่ 27 ตุลาคม เป็นวันที่ 300 ของปี

Value : Compassion

"Compassion is to give blessings to others."

Contemplation

When I have mercy for others I will not speak or think of the mistakes or the weaknesses in others.  When I speak about such things, it spreads from one person to the next.  Instead of speaking, I have to merge it into love.  This sends blessing to others, which helps them improve.

Application

When I notice a weakness in someone, instead of drawing attention to it by speaking to others, I need to make a special effort to focus on something positive in that person. When I think about this person's good qualities, my love for them will grow.  I will be able to see them in a positive light, whatever their flaws.

Day 297 Value of Compassion

 

Day 297 

วันที่ 24 ตุลาคม เป็นวันที่ 297 ของปี

Value : Compassion

"The one who is compassionate is constantly giving."

Contemplation

Compassion helps us understand other people around us.  It allows us to forgive them for their mistakes, and to focus on what we can give them, rather than looking for something from them.  Then we do not judge or try to change their behavior directly.  Instead, we focus on their positive qualities and offer them our unconditional love.

Application

It is easy to judge people quickly without understanding the reasons behind their words or actions.  When I am expecting others to change, I must remind myself that I am the one who must change because I understand the situation better.  I can forgive others with love and only have good wishes for them.  In turn, this will help them grow.
