Interests:
LOVE :
"Love is everything it's cracked up to be.
That's why people are so cynical about it...
It really is worth fighting for,
risking everything for.
And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything,
you risk even more.
Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.
Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it.
Love stretches your heart and makes you big inside.
Love is like war: Easy to begin but hard to end.
Where love is, no room is too small.
Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime.
Love is sustained by action,
a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.
COMPASSION :
What exactly is compassion?
Compassion is a mind that is motivated by cherishing other living beings and wishes to release them from their suffering.
Sometimes out of selfish intention we can wish for another person to be free from their suffering;
this is quite common in relationships that are based principally on attachment.
If our friend is ill or depressed,
for example, we may wish him to recover quickly so that we can enjoy his company again;
but this wish is basically self-cen- tred and is not true compassion.
True compassion is necessarily based on cherishing others.
Although we already have some degree of compassion,
at present it is very biased and limited.
When our family and friends are suffering we easily develop compassion for them,
but we find it far more difficult to feel sympathy for people we find unpleasant or for strangers.
Furthermore, we feel compassion for those who are experiencing manifest pain, but not for those who are enjoying good conditions,
and especially not for those who are engaging in harmful actions.
If we genuinely want to realize our potential by attaining full enlightenment we need to increase the scope of our compassion until it embraces all living beings without exception,
just as a loving mother feels compassion for all her children irrespective of whether they are behaving well or badly.
This universal compassion is the heart of Mahayana Buddhism.
Unlike our present, limited compassion,
which already arises naturally from time to time,
universal compassion must first be cultivated through training over a long period of time.
HONESTY :
Honesty is a clear conscience "
before myself and before my fellow human beings."
Honesty is the awareness of what is right and appropriate in one???s role, one???s behavior,
and one relationship. With honesty,
there is no hypocrisy or artificiality which create confusion and mistrust in the minds and lives of others.
Honesty makes for a life of integrity because the inner and outer selves are a mirror image.
Honesty is to speak that which is thought and to do that which is spoken.
There are no contradictions or discrepancies in thoughts, words, or actions.
Such integration provides clarity and example to others.
To have one form internally and another form externally creates barriers and can cause damage,
since one would neither be able to come close to anyone else,
nor would others want to be close.
Some think, "I am honest, but no one understands me."
That is not honest.
Honesty is as distinct as a flawless diamond which can never remain hidden.
The worth is visible in one???s actions
An honest person is one who aspires to follow the highest codes of conduct,
who is loyal to the benevolent and universal principles of life,
and whose decisions are based clearly on what is right and wrong.
Such an individual maintains standards which provide guidance and courage to understand and respect the subtle connections of the world in relation to his or her life.
An honest person appreciates the interconnectedness of the natural world and does not misuse, abuse,
or waste the wealth of resources provided for the well-being of humanity.
An honest person does not take for granted his or her own resources such as mind, body,
wealth, time, talents, or knowledge.
Honesty means never to misuse that which is given in trust.
There would always be the concern that resources be used in a worthwhile way -
for the basic human, moral, and spiritual needs of all people.
Well-used resources create well-being and are a means for those very resources to multiply.
The individual who is deeply committed to development and progress keeps honesty as a constant principle in building a world of peace and plenty,
a world of less expenditure and greater splendor.
