Just taking a peek

Postby OcTavO » Fri Jul 02, 2010 10:36 pm

Hello all, I only just learned of the existence of this site when I spotted a tiny link at the footer of the Dhamma Wheel site. While my leanings are strongly towards the Theravada, I am still greatly interested in Mahayana so I thought I'd sneak on over and take a look.

Hi, OctavO! Welcome. :smile:
I should dispel the suffering of others because it is suffering like my own suffering. I should help others too because of their nature as beings, which is like my own being. When happiness is liked by me and others equally, what is so special about me that I strive after happiness only for myself? When fear and suffering are disliked by me and others equally, what is so special about me that I protect myself and not the other? Shantideva, Bodhi[sattva]caryavatara 8.94-96
