RE: 🌟 Meditation and Buddhism - What is Compassion? 🌟

in #meditation7 years ago

Hey, I liked your post. In it you say that wisdom is clear seeing. I have often understood seeing as more of a passive act, where as wisdom more of an action. For instance, one cannot be considered wise unless they do something or say something. I wonder if you can clarify a little more?
Also, I’m new here, and I noticed that a lot of your posts contain similar content, and wondered how that is helping your account?

What I mean by clear seeing is that the process of meditation and following the Noble Eightfold Path (Buddhism) creates a purification of the mind.

Example: You have been riding around with a dirty windshield and didn't realize it because you needed glasses and can't see that well anyway. You keep running into things over and over and can't figure out why. You start going through a process, you go to the doctor and are diagnosed and prescribed glasses and now you can see better. Then you clean your windshield and now you see clearly.

That is what meditation along with following the Noble Eightfold Path does.

I believe that what I write about adds value to other people's lives and so do some other people so they read my posts. As far as creating a series that probably has a positive effect on bringing reader's back, it helps to have some expertise in what you are writing about or at least a passion for it.

Thanks! I like that analogy a lot. It helped me to see your point with more clarity 😉
