The Truth of Desires (Buddha’s Insight)

[@ElmerTan-ut4qn]

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas respect all beings. They would never hurt others for their own gain. They treat all beings and things with sincerity, respect, humility and kind-heartedness. They humble themselves in respect for respect for others. In their daily lives, they encounter people both kind and unkind. They only remember their kindness and not their unkindness. People who are truly intelligent always try to protect the purity and goodness of their minds by not allowing anyone else's dirt into their minds. If we allow other people's unkindness into our hearts, we will also become unkind. This is wrong. True cultivators always purify their minds. They would not think or talk about other people's mistakes. If we gossip about other people's mistakes, our minds are already contaminated with their mistakes. By listening to people's conversations and watching their behaviours we know who is good and who is not. Therefore, we only praise the goodness in people and we do not harbour people's wrongdoings. This is how we keep our minds pure. Wisdom will manifest when our mind is pure. 🙏🙏🙏 Amituofo
