Practice Empathy
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings and experiences of another person.
Lion or Fox
The story goes that once there was a person looking to do meditation in forest.
He started meditation but when he used to feel hungry he used to go to nearby town to eat.
Once he saw a cripped fox who was fed by lion each day. He thought, god was giving him a message and stopped eating expecting devine help.
After seven days a yogi saw him and asked him why his state was such.
When he explained, he asked him why he was acting like crippled fox and not generous lion.
MORAL OF THE STORY
We always have a choice about what we want to do
Buddha's wisdom
Once Gautam Buddha’s aunt came to him with her dead baby and asked him to revive the child. Buddha told her he would do so but that she needed to get him a vital ingredient for the resurrection: salt from a house which had never seen a death.
The woman ran door-to-door the whole day but didn’t find such a house. At dusk she fell at the Buddha’s feet and said she understands. She isn’t the only one to have suffered the loss of a loved one.
MORAL OF THE STORY
Stop feeling victimised. Everyone goes through pain.
