#compassion
TIME AND AGAIN I am surprised how people who adorn themselves with being OH SO VERY #SPIRITUAL, with #BUDDHISM and #MINDFULNESS … people who praise #COMPASSION in speech or writing … how they FAIL TO REALIZE that their consumption and use of animal products (meat, dairy, leather …) depends on the #suffering of #Nonhuman_Persons, on #captivity, #exploitation, #forced_labour, #torture, and finally, #murder.
Folks, that’s #LIP_SERVICE_SPIRITUALITY.
THEN I REMEMBER how I did the same, how I was in that same state of #denial, for most of my life, even when I was vegetarian: I still ate cheese, curd, eggs, and I wore leather shoes and belts, thus showing the other animals that I am powerful enough to clothe me in their skins, a permanent menace to them!

#Luke 23:34: “Then said Jesus, Father, #forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”
Psalms 78:38: “But he, [being] full of #compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.”
1John 1:7 But if we walk in the #light, as he is in the light, we have #fellowship one with another, and the blood of #Jesus #Christ his Son #cleanseth us from all #sin.
#Psalms 51:7: “Purge me with #hyssop, and I shall be #clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than #snow.”
The word in #Greek for #forgiveness is #aphes which means to send away, leave alone, depart or release and pardon.
The word in #Aramaic is #shavaq which is the word used for divorce, the ending of a marriage as well as pardon.
In #Hebrew, the word for forgiveness is #chaphar which means to cover up or cover over and pardon.
#All these words have the idea of a pardon. In a sense what Jesus was saying when He said: “Father forgive them” was that he was granting them a pardon.

"1000 #Goddesses Gathering in Bergen on Saturday.
This annual #global #event is based upon a Tibetan #prophecy that states that when 1000 Goddesses or Buddhist Taras gather, the Divine Feminine will rebirth through their combined energies, and the tone of our Sacred Planet shall shift from Fear to #Compassion.
The 2023 event builds on the 1000 Goddesses Gatherings & Global Grids from 2016 - 2022.
This will be our 3rd year of hosting the event at our home in Bergen with the Goddess of Willendorf.
Thus we are inviting as many ceremonies as possible
to start at 12pm ET, 5pm UK time to facilitate a focused global
energetic surge at that time (for those
who can accommodate this).
Given the current state of the world, I would encourage everyone to find or create a #local event to join. We desperately need #peace now. https://www.1000goddesses.net/

A quotation from Heschel, Abraham
When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.

« Ô Marie, notre Médiatrice » :
« Ô Marie, notre Médiatrice, c'est en Vous que le genre humain met toute sa joie.
Il attend Votre protection.
En Vous seule, il trouve refuge et voici que, moi aussi, je viens avec toute ma ferveur, car je n'ai pas le courage d'approcher votre Fils : aussi j'implore Votre intercession pour obtenir mon salut.
Ô Vous qui êtes compatissante, ô Vous qui êtes la Mère du Dieu de miséricorde, ayez pitié de moi.
Ainsi soit-il. »
Saint Éphrem le Syrien ( 306 – 373, fêté le 9 juin. )

If there was anyone who knew #how to #cultivate #compassion, it was #Milarepa.
Milarepa was an #enlightened #Tibetan #spiritual master who was born in 1452.
He is considered one of the greatest #Buddhist masters who ever lived. During his lifetime, Milarepa established the lineage of the Kagyu sect; however, he is very highly venerated, to this day, by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
Today as we go through this school of life, we shall try to understand how an enlightened person lives. In our pursuit of wonder, we shall borrow knowledge from the following traditions: Buddhism( #Zen and #Tibetian), #Advaita #Vedanta, #Taoism, Confucianism and other schools of #philosophy.
In the West, the intuition of emptiness (expressed in Western philosophy often as nihilism) is conceived as lack. This inherent sense of lack, according to the scholar David R. Loy, is seen as needing to be overcome or obsessively filled. This explains the West's hyper-consumerism, narcissism, and obsession with things and status.
We obsessively spend our days in the desperate attempt to fill with consumer goods the void intuited at the centre of existence.
The East (even though becoming more and more Westernised every day) has traditionally seen emptiness, not as lack, but as pure potentiality.
That is to say, emptiness is seen as pure allowing. That which allows anything at all to exist.
Emptiness is seen as the generative ground from which anything at all can arise.
This week, #Passover, #Ramadan and #Easter overlap, which only happens three times each century.
This rare and #special occasion is a time for all communities to come together and make a common call for #compassion, #inclusion and #peace.

the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion's Peace Park
a bit more about the Stupa's history and "but why"
"December 2021: Bendigo’s Great Stupa of Universal Compassion has made further progress with the installation of a powerhouse battery power convertor. The converter was specifically made for the Great Stupa’s lights in partnership with Arvio Australia, which specialises in sustainable energy solutions."
