Go ye now, O bhikkhus, for the benefit of the many, for the welfare of mankind, out of compassion for the world.

Excerpt

"Go ye now, O bhikkhus, for the benefit of the many, for the welfare of mankind, out of compassion for the world. Preach the doctrine which is glorious in the beginning, glorious in the middle, and glorious in the end, in the spirit as well as in the letter. There are beings whose eyes are scarcely covered with dust, but if the doctrine is not preached to them they cannot attain salvation. Proclaim to them a life of holiness. They will understand the doctrine and accept it."

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Gospel of Buddha, the Buddha sends his disciples, the bhikkhus (monks), to share the teaching “out of compassion for the world”: some beings have only a little dust on their eyes and are waiting for a single word to see clearly. Today, simply share with someone who needs it a word or an idea that did you good, without trying to convince.
