One day, I was very upset, because my best friend got laid off. I love her so much and didn't want her to lose the job. I was just a very young girl around those days, didn't know what to do, when coping something like this. So I cried. In the evening, I went to see my Buddhist Master and told him the story. This is what he said to me:
"You are crying, because your co-worker
lost her job, so you are not happy.
You want her to return to work so
you can be happy again…
My Little Girl, you are very selfish!
Your happiness is very conditional!
Did you realize that?
It's all about making you happy,
so you can stop crying!"
It took me a while to understand his message.
From then on, I learned how to conquer my mind,
and try my best, not to let anything disturb my inner peace…

This is a great post +Jendhamuni Sos. I also trust in the higher awareness and continuous presence of great masters who have gone before us, and I believe these beings hear our prayers and respond to them. The Buddha Presence is everywhere, and Universal Spiritual Compassion is always there for us to call upon. This is the greatest lesson I have learned thus far in my lifetime.

The same thing at funerals? We cry because we miss mum or dad. Well they are in heaven at least my mum is I don't know about dad. So there is no reason to feel sad 🙂

Viver somente pra nos mesmos tambem e egoista ! Boa noite!

+Keith Charles I agree! Good deed of a spiritual practitioner will shake Heaven, while bad deed of wrong-doers will shake Hell.

I thought it is natural to feel for ones friend and even cry over her/his misfortune.
I cant be happy if my friend is unhappy and afraid.
I think there is more to it ,then be happy in your self.

Darrell Darner
Its ok to share ones pain if only to comfort one another.
Jendhamuni Sos
+Darrell Darner +Dietrich Lombarde It is true, normally. But here, my master wants me to reach a higher level of inner peace. So a bit more abstract, not concrete.
