Kindness
acting with love
the state, quality or habit of being kind; kind act or treatment; kind feeling, affection; good will
In the Buddhist tradition, compassion and loving-kindness are the primary directives for conduct in the world. Respecting all life, honoring all sentient beings and serving the greater good is essential for us to find peace and harmony within ourselves. When we are living in a state of kindness, it is a sign that the ego is retreating and the ‘Self’ is living through us. All benefit from that. When we are in kindness, we are aligned with a deep inner stillness.
Inquiry
Do I treat myself the way I want to be treated?
Intention
Once in a while I have to remind myself to be kind to myself. I deserve forgiveness and love, and so does everybody else.
