Compassion and Self-centeredness 思いやりと自己中心

"Once we have a firm practice of compassion our state of mind becomes stronger which leads to inner peace, giving rise to self-confidence, which reduces fear. This makes for constructive members of the community. Self-centeredness on the other hand leads to distance, suspicion, mistrust and loneliness, with unhappiness as the result." (From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's facebook on October 21, 2013)

私たちは一旦思いやりをしっかり実践すると、自信が生じて恐れが減るので心の状態が強くなり、内面の平和につながります。これにより共同体の建設的なメンバーができあがります。一方、自己中心は結果として不幸にも、距離、疑い、不信、孤独につながります。(超訳)

Practice of compassion is the source of happiness and self-centeredness is the source of unhappiness. (My commentary)

思いやりの実践は幸福の源であり、自己中心は不幸の源です。(解説)
