The Great Treasure Dharma King: Bringing happiness to all sentient beings

Tibetan Master 2015-05-26

When our compassion has grown beyond our personal limitations, it becomes an infinite wish to benefit all sentient beings - every sentient being in any place.This does not specifically refer to those who we like and feel close to, nor does it mean that it only benefits the seven billion people in our world.

In Buddhist terms, "all sentient beings" refer to all humans and animals on our earth, but also includes our Milky Way, our entire universe, and perhaps in the end, all perceptual lives in other universes.We extend our compassion to any place where sentient beings are.

Such a vast compassion requires a sense of responsibility to bring happiness to all sentient beings - any sentient being, no matter at any time or place.We have talked about taking care of all living beings by turning back the damage we have done to the earth, ending hunger in the world, and bringing justice to our food and social systems.Although we may have already taken this direction now, this is not a goal we can achieve in a day, a week, or even in a lifetime.To implement our long-term vision for a better world, extremely long-term goals are needed.Therefore, compassion that drives us to work for these goals needs to last for a very long time, which makes it important to "certain that our compassion is sustainable".

I admit that this desire to create a better society, end the suffering of all sentient beings in the ten directions, and protect the entire earth may not seem so clear and feasible.However, whether we can achieve such a goal in this life, cultivate a broad sense of responsibility and sincere hope to be able to be altruistic is of great significance.This view is so beneficial and so noble that it is worth developing, no matter how many possibilities are to actually achieve a broad vision like this.

By recognizing the lofty nature of this view, we can cultivate our compassion and make it strong and stable enough to ignore how difficult and important the tasks ahead are, and it can lead us forward.We can start by deepening our beliefs, and we firmly believe that any life with a sense of perception by definition will experience feelings of happiness and pain.Just because they feel pain, desire to get rid of it, and have the ability to feel happiness, we should respect their experiences and pay attention to them.We really don't need to find any other reasons.

Once we begin to truly value the happiness of others, when the opportunity to give others happiness or save others from suffering comes, we are ready to take action.If we can develop a mind that is ready to act at any time, we will not miss any opportunity to benefit others.Even if we cannot guarantee that all sentient beings can be happy immediately, no matter at any time, as long as we see that we have the opportunity to benefit any sentient beings, we will be eager to put our compassion into action.When we notice someone is hungry on the street, we will immediately find something for them, and we will become proactive and start giving them healthy food, or find local streetmates to support them.Once we have the ambition to be altruistic, we will continue to look for opportunities to do it, and whenever the opportunity appears, we will happily grasp it. Therefore, this wish itself has great significance and practical power.
