Buddhistische HerzensschulungDie Kultivierung einer Geisteshaltung, die auf Mitgefühl, Freundlichkeit, Gelassenheit und Freude beruht, ist ein ernsthafter spiritueller Übungspfad. Indem wir diese Qualitäten in unserem Geist und unserem Herz verankern, stehen sie uns auch in schwierigeren Zeiten zur Verfügung. So können wir freundlich bleiben, auch wenn nicht alles nach unserer Vorstellung läuft, mitfühlend, ohne selbst zu verzweifeln, gelassen, auch wenn das Leben uns beutelt, und von einer inneren Freude erfüllt, die nicht von äußeren Umständen abhängig ist.Dieser Weg zum Erwachen bezieht die Verbundenheit mit anderen ein - er trägt zur Heilung der Welt bei und kultiviert genau die Qualitäten, die unsere Welt dringend braucht.
