Endless Tasks

on Saturday, May 17, 2008

After much anticipation, this week is finally over, giving an end to Biology test and COMM presentation. Being too excited to welcome the weekend, I wasted the whole night doing nothing.

Thankfully, I attended Friday Dharma Class at City East Campus and the topic discussed was "Showing Compassion and Loving Kindness with Wisdom". Somehow, the topic sounded interesting and meaningful. For people who attempt to start practising compassion, he should direct it firstly to himself. He should also avoid directing compassion to the one that he loves or he hates and members of the opposite sex. =) I suppose the reason for it needs no further explanation. Conclusively, it's a long way to practise compassion and loving kindness; starting from oneself, and then to people that you respect, your friends (by treating everyone as your good friend), your enemies (by treating them as your friend), mankind and eventually, all living organisms in this world.

Moving on, the concept behind practising compassion and loving kindness with wisdom is to be reasonable, ie to to take into consideration the situation and the person whom you direct your compassion and loving kindness to. However, each situation varies and there is no explicit right or wrong for each decision made.

I guess this is the only beneficial thing I did yesterday apart from attending lectures in the morning. Haha...
