Buddha emphasized compassion towards all beings from "summary" of THE BOOK OF BUDDHA by Arundhati Subramaniam
In the teachings of Buddha, the importance of compassion towards all beings is a central theme. Buddha's emphasis on compassion is not limited to just humans, but extends to all living creatures. This concept is rooted in the belief that all beings are interconnected and deserving of kindness and understanding. Buddha believed that showing compassion towards others is essential for achieving inner peace and enlightenment. By practicing compassion, individuals can cultivate a sense of empathy and understanding towards the suffering of others. This practice not only benefits those who receive compassion but also helps the individual who is showing compassion to cultivate a sense of inner peace and contentment. Buddha emphasized the idea of "Metta" or loving-kindness, which is the practice of wishing well-being and happiness for all beings. This practice involves developing a sense of goodwill and compassion towards oneself and others, regardless of their background or circumstances. By cultivating a mindset of loving-kindness, individuals can break free from negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, and resentment. Through the practice of compassion, individuals can also cultivate a sense of interconnectedness with all beings. This interconnectedness teaches individuals to see beyond their own desires and ego, and to recognize the inherent worth and dignity of all living creatures. By treating others with kindness and compassion, individuals can create a more harmonious and peaceful world for themselves and others.- Buddha's emphasis on compassion towards all beings is a reminder of the interconnected nature of all life. By practicing compassion and loving-kindness, individuals can cultivate a sense of empathy, understanding, and interconnectedness with all beings, leading to inner peace and enlightenment.
