Compassion (Karuna) Compassion is the second aspect of heart practices and has the specific aim of being directed toward pain and suffering. It is often defined as a movement of the heart when we meet pain and anguish. Compassion is the ability to both feel and to respond in a way that reduces or holds the suffering of another. Within the context of empathy, compassion is our greatest skill. It is also a skill that we need to learn and maintain through practice. As a quality of mind, it is only appropriate and necessary during moments of distress, sadness, pain or suffering. It simply intends to help or hold that which hurts. With compassion comes the inability to express hatred. Its expression is the manifestation of non-violence. It has the ability to uproot any intention to cause harm. It can be brought about by seeing and understanding the difficulties and pains of others while holding a sincere desire to alleviate that suffering. It succeeds when it causes violence and ill-will to descend. It fails when it produces depression, grief and sorrow. Compassion isn’t self-pity or pity for others, but when wrongly understood it may manifest in this way. It’s ultimately about feeling one’s own pain and recognizing the pain of others. When we can see, and experience the suffering of this world that we are all subject to, we may become kinder and more compassionate to one another. This talk was given at a 7 day retreat at New Life Foundation in Chiang Rai Thailand in the winter of 2016. http://www.newlifethaifoundation.com/

Forgiveness: talk and instruction

Forgiveness There is no official Pali translation for the word forgiveness but the idea of forgiveness is expressed wholeheartedly throughout the teachings. Forgiveness practice plays a critical role in the development of compassion and empathy because if we can’t forgive, we limit our ability for true connection and empathy. Forgiveness is the antidote to resentment. It allows us to learn how to put aside and ultimately abandon our tendency toward blaming. There is no lasting sense of well-being or happiness associated with the common and often seemingly justified habit of finding fault in others. At times it will be important for us to acknowledge the harm we have caused, and it is helpful to experience an appropriate amount of regret. Understanding that blaming is only a source of harm to others and ourselves, we set the intention to hold forgiveness as quality that we aim to embody.

This talk was given at a 7 day retreat at New Life Foundation in Chaing RiThailand in the winter of 2016. Kind-Friendliness (Metta) http://www.newlifethaifoundation.com/ The word metta is derived from the Pali word, mita. Mita, literally means friend. The most accurate translation of the term metta would be kind-friendliness. Metta has the mode of friendliness for its characteristic. Its natural function is to promote good intention. It is manifested as the disappearance of ill-will. Its footing is “to see” with kindness. When it succeeds, it eliminates ill-will. When it fails, it degenerates into greed, self-centered craving and attachment. Kind-friendliness is the first foundation of metta practices. Metta is a beneficial attitude in every situation. It is always appropriate. It holds ease, peace, and contentment as a baseline attitude and promotes its increase. It seeks to further cooperation and understanding even in the presence of difficulty.

The following is a talk from Against the Stream Nashville Founder, Dave Smith, that he gave while teaching a retreat at New Life Foundation in Thailand. Dave discusses the "Wisdom of Dissatisfaction" as it relates to Buddhist teaching and practice. The First Noble Truth is the cornerstone of the path to developing a deeper understanding of the ways in which we self-generate stress and often dismiss, avoid, or avert our attention from what is painful and difficult. Often, in our efforts to avoid pain, we often create more pain. Dave discusses the importance of turning towards the difficulty of life as a way of liberating the heart and deepening our understanding of human nature. Enjoy!
