COAT4D: On Suffering and Compassion

Posted on May 19th, 2007 by ~C4Chaos : (hyper)linker ~C4Chaos

My daily quote from Glimpse @ Rigpa arrived a few hours early. And it's very relevant...

May 20

The times when you are suffering can be those when you are open, and where you are extremely vulnerable can be where your greatest strength really lies.

Say to yourself: “I am not going to run away from this suffering. I want to use it in the best and richest way I can, so that I can become more compassionate and more helpful to others.” Suffering, after all, can teach us about compassion. If you suffer, you will know how it is when others suffer. And if you are in a position to help others, it is through your suffering that you will find the understanding and compassion to do so.
