Buddhism
Lesson 167

He never abandons the strength of charity towards all beings.

Excerpt

Nor does he show any delight in disputes about the law, or engage in disputes about the law, and he never abandons the strength of charity towards all beings. In respect to all Tathāgatas he feels as if they were his fathers, and in respect to all Bodhisattvas as if they were his masters. And as to the Bodhisattvas Mahāsattvas in all directions of space, he is assiduous in paying homage to them by good will and respect.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Lotus of the True Law, the bodhisattva, one who walks toward awakening for the good of all, keeps the strength of charity toward all beings, regards the Buddhas as fathers and the other bodhisattvas as masters. Today, treat every person you meet, even hurried or unpleasant ones, with the same patient kindness, and this evening, look back on your day to see where you managed to do so.
