understanding pace.............

Buddha said that different beings have different capacities for understanding, different ways of thinking, different personalities and mentalities and cultural attitudes; and that teachings should be in accordance with this. The essence of Buddhism is lovingkindness and compassion and understanding emptiness.
And all these different a...pproaches are just many ways of allowing these real,
innate qualities to manifest.

When we teach, any example that is understood by the teacher and the student can be used. Also, sometimes with people in the West, when they try meditation, they try too hard. They become very tight, their bodies become tense. Everything becomes blocked and difficult. Then they need to learn to relax and to rest the mind - with awareness but not so much tightness.

to live in loving kindness............

To live in loving kindness, is soothing like a flower,
with peaceful beauty, holding authentic power.
An energy of strength along with flowing grace,
with a soft gentleness that cannot be erased.

...To live in loving kindness, you come from the heart,
for this is where compassion and love first start.
Honouring all beings on an equal ground,
as well as mother nature displayed all around.

To live in loving kindness, is to show deep respect,
for watching how you speak or how you connect.
Through the softness of the voice to let others hear,
caring thoughtfulness, to eliminate all fear.

To live in loving kindness, is how you express,
your actions and thoughts like a gentle caress.
Completing good deeds you are gifted to do,
as well as to walk in another person's shoes.

To live in loving kindness, is how you may share,
your time or patience, or even how you care.
It's not about objects or how rich you are,
what comes from the heart is more important by far.

To live in loving kindness, power flows through the heart,
and this is very important; a secret to impart!
The heart filters corruptness from what's noble and good,
it happens very naturally, only as it should.

To live in loving kindness, is not to attain great wealth,
it's learning to be responsible first to yourself.
Developing respect and awareness as you grow,
then keeping the balance; staying within the flow.

To live in loving kindness, is to share all around,
which takes dedication seeming so profound.
And to reach beyond, to the state of tranquil love,
first you must surrender to the realms up above.

To live in loving kindness, you will blossom in the light,
because what you feel is powerful and so right!
And what you achieve deep within your soul,
is wisdom why you're here for this particular goal.

To live in loving kindness, for harmony world-wide,
all ego, fear and greed, must be put aside.
And then all creation can peacefully exist,
together as one, in complete joy and bliss!See more
