The Buddha

I found this reading to be very profound and it also read like a guide to life on how life should be viewed, how others should be treated and in turn how to live happily. The first paragraph was very beautiful, behind all of the insight and value in Buddha’s teaching, his message that was trying to get through was that we are all Buddha. “There is nothing that you need to achieve just open up your eyes.” I took this as, all people are what make up this world and that not one person is more valuable then another. Another profound point in this story state that life should not be lived by a form of writing but by ones own judgment if you find that something that you are a part of is bad, then stop doing it and if something that you find to be good then feel free to be a part of it. And one more small point was how we should treat others “As a mother at the risk of her life watches her only child, so let everyone cultivate a boundlessly compassionate mind toward all beings. I’m not sure if I took this in correctly but I took this as we should treat other like we would treat our child or loved ones, not to look at people as strangers but as family.
