Topic > Compassion, defined by three faiths - 1841

What is compassion? Webster's Dictionary defines it as a “comprehensive awareness of another's distress together with a desire to alleviate it.” I think compassion has a much more powerful meaning than this. I believe that compassion is the true embodiment of the human heart and spirit and its need to help people. I also believe that this incarnation pushes us to unite as one, putting aside our differences, whether in religion, politics, or other worldly conflicts, to master our divine purpose, the betterment of humanity and nature. The three Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, among other religions, exemplify the qualities of compassion and love by clearly reflecting these ideas in their scriptures and teachings. In fact, if you delve into any philosophy or religious teaching, you will find that they all strive to promote peace, tolerance and mutual compassion. However, in our modern world, these teachings have been distorted and manipulated for man's personal gain. I believe our purpose is to impart to the present world and future generations a feeling of compassion, love and unity that will ultimately lead to world peace. In ethical terms, as passed down to us from the Abrahamic dynasty. According to tradition, compassion could mean: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." We can trace, conceptually, a much broader approach to this emotion, for example in the Buddhist, Jain and Hindu traditions, dating back to earlier periods, say between 500 and 2000 BC, a transcendental movement of one's heart, to share the pain of 'other, variously described as 'ahimsa', 'daya' or 'karuna' was the corner of...... in the center of the paper...... participate in activities that stimulate their need to live and be part of a compassionate way of life. Soup kitchens, blood donation camps, hospice volunteer services and many other similar activities can be coordinated through students and other young people on an increasingly broad level and with global connection and understanding. Such an incarnation, on a global level, will undoubtedly push us, the people of the world, to unite as one, putting aside our differences, be they in religion, politics or other worldly conflicts, to master our divine purpose, the betterment of humanity and nature. The three Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, among other religions, exemplify the qualities of compassion and love by clearly reflecting these ideas in their scriptures and teachings, can substantially aid this process and will ultimately lead to world peace.
