Selfless Acts

I wanted to say thank you to Michael Prescott first and for most for writting this amazing article on Buddhism. I do not take any credit for him deciding to be come buddhist or for crediting me in his article. I simply showed him what I have learned about Buddhism over the past fourteen tears. Granted I shared the knowledge of the path of enlightenment with him, but I'm not the creator of the path. I had simliar questions just like him when I was growing up that my relgious advisors could not answer. Instead of them having me seek my almighty creator for the answers, they would discredit my ideas and thoughts and would tell me to drop them. After a while, like Michael I started looking other places for the answers to my questions. After a long search I came across Buddhism. I still remember when I read about one of the four corner stone beliefs of Buddhism and how I felt about it. Compassion.. now thats a interesting word. What does compasson mean? Well in the dictionary compassion means to be compassionate towards others. But in Buddism compassion means a lot more. It means to be undertsanding of all human and creatures, regardless of shape, size, type or condition. Without compassion or understanding; how do you expect to understand others? You need to feel and emphasize with others to truly understand and feel compassion towards another. So I ask again, is compassion just another word in the dictionary or is there a truly greater meaning to the word. I leave this up to my readers to decide for themselves. Everyone views things differently and it's up to them to decide fo themselves what compassion trule means to them. Not me explaining it to them.
