Acceptance vs. tolerance! That's an important difference if I ever heard one. Just because you dislike something doesn't mean you should feel hate, you should reach out and try to CHANGE the situation or even a person's false perceptions of something...and sometimes that person is yourself :-)
Jesus said "But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you"
try to forgive if you are mishandled or beaten, or tortured everyday, if you live like a prisoner because of your enemies, if you try to get out of this reality but you can't. try to forgive them, and do not resist, try to explain them, that you love them and they will kill you, because they will think you are weak.
it is very easy to forgive your enemies, if you never see them face to face, and if you live in a monastery, surrounded with people you can trust. you can forgive them easily, if you don't have to face them everyday.
Well, the feelings cannot be commanded, you can't order people to hate their foes, because its the natural human tendency. However, we shouldn't let our passions and emotions blind us because they obstruct reason. The sentiment of hating your enemy is as human as hating being to be hit on the face. Perhaps, its much more wise to say that you should hate your enemies with some reserve, in hope to become friends with them.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
Through buddhist history the compassion buddhism had led to pacifism in which hindus killed many buddhists and forced them into hinduism through suppression and so forth. Later buddhism went to china, compassion must be there but from there we need even in self-defence with compassion.

I believe this to be right ... but it is very very difficult and once again I must say this is very hard to accomplish with out meditation.... why??? Because if the emotions are not trained and allowed to run free and the body and mind are used to this all of your life it willl become extremely difficult to circumvent emotions when necessary...
Dharamsala, April 16 – The Tibetan leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has called on the international community, governments around the world and international NGOs to persuade China to “exercise restraint” in dealing with the situation in Tibet’s Ngaba region that has remained tense since Tuesday following confrontation between local population and Chinese troops.
He says that if you are a good person you have a good next life but if you are a bad person you have a worse next life. He says animals are people that have led a bad life . But animals and human beings in some cases don't have a choice of what kind of life thay can lead. For example if you come from a violent place you could end up living a bad life because you will never know any different. If he really believes what he says he must realise life is about luck a and not choices.
@johnnytiz that would mean bill gates dog has it worse than the children born with aids in africa which I highly doubt. some animals have it very good and are very happy their entire lives.....
@ebooklibrary27 It's not the situation, but the rebirth level. There are six: Gods, Demigods, Humans, Animals, Hungry Ghosts, and Hell beings. Being a human is a higher rebirth than an animal, despite if that animal has a better life than the human. An animal doesn't necessarily have to be a human who had a bad life, but a hungry ghost who aimed for a higher rebirth.
I LOVE MY ENEMIES & THERE IS NO ANGER IN MY HEART, BUT I DO NOT LET THEM USE THEIR POWER ON ME. IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY NOT TO LET THEM OVERCOME THE TRUTH. ALL IT IS WHEN I AM SURE THE TRUTH IS ON MY SIDE.
you know after he lost the palace he could have just sat on his assets in Paris or something, he did not he continued to lead and be a scholar and a king, religious leader, pop star and scientist. I have always liked that.
@arsenalfbce lol, good one! It's not like buddhism (where he got these ideas from) is older than feudalism and therefore older than Jesus. Yeah, he must have just heard it on a BBC documentary about Jesus. Plagiarism. PLAGIARISM!!!
Regular people like us, seeing the compassionate person, are shocked, cannot fathom how such an attitude exists, it's like when you receive kindness from a stranger, it's unbelievable. That's how dark our world is, kindness is unexpected, it surprises people...we expect the complete opposite. So there's a good reason to be a light unto the world, be kind in simple ways and it's amazing how much it'll help others!
This news is clever, they say the "chinese" destroyed 6000 monastaries, but do you know what? It wasn't even the Chinese military, it was the protestors themselves, wtf.
Also, Dalai Lama is cruel, he pretends to be good however he was a slave owner in the 1950s.
what he talks is tough to practice . well, he is the leader of a suffering people and he must have put his words into action. The consciousness of such a non violent person should undergo a radical change , then he becomes genuinely compassionate towards his enemies. thanks buddha7575
Over the past 50 years HHDL has created so much awareness of Tibetan Buddhism worldwide. One the first book I read when I was little has HHDL's name on it! I am sure many people came to hear about Buddhism through the kindness of HHDL. How would we be if we as the leader of our country, lost our home country. Would we teach this teaching? A person's action and word shows his/her mind. May I be a less selfish person, less self cherishing..
There is so much compassion in the Dalai Lama - when he talks about compassion it is not just talk but you can really feel that he has realised it completely.
I think also real compassion means you are willing to put yourself at risk and sacrifice everything you have. The Dalai Lama is doing this by allowing his name to be really defamed and ruined recently, just so that the practice of Dorje Shugden can flourish in his place. Such compassion for us, so we can practice.

Unless, of course, you worship Dorje Shugden, then the Dalai Lama thinks it is okay to hate you and kill you.

@Gabriela2008Madelein: :) they are interconnected.
If you love, wanting others to be happy, you cannot help it but be compassionate, wanting others to be free from suffering.
You feel sympathetic joy when they are happy. Meeting another being, you will not differentiate your love, living equanimity, knowing this:
"The father becomes the son in another life, mother becomes the wife, enemy becomes friend; It always changes.
Therefore there is nothing definite in samsara." The Buddha

@EALIXA: Your are welcome Ealixa.
And like you wrote in your poem "Beginning" about a song that "sticks to my sheets, changes the rhythm of my heart", the same is true for compassion:
It sticks with you all the time.
It is waiting with you, all the time.
Waiting to be expressed, more and more, until all the time.
Being with you, it changes the rhythm of your heart and through that the hearts of others.
May compassion be with you, Ealixa, all the time!
