The three jewels make up the lineage, philosophy, and community of Buddhism, explains Christina Feldman, and their purpose is to deepen and expand our practice.
It may seem like an unattainable ideal, but you can start right now as a bodhisattva-in-training. All you need is the aspiration to put others first.
In Buddhism, compassion is embodied in the bodhisattva Kuan Yin, who is said to manifest wherever beings need help.
En la iconografía budista, la compasión se encarna en la bodhisattva Kuan Yin, se dice que ella se manifiesta donde los seres necesitan ayuda. Engendrar tal compasión no es sólo bueno para los demás, dice Christina Feldman, también es bueno para nosotros. Al poner a los otros primero, suavizamos las ataduras a la fijación del yo, y al hacerlo, nos acercamos a nuestra propia liberación.
The nagging, negative voice of self-judgement, says Christina Feldman, is a powerful affliction best met with courage, kindness, and understanding.
