Quote: by: Dalai amma

"If you want others to be happy practice compassion. If you want to be happy, pratice compassion "
- Dalai amma, Tibetan Buddhist monk

Dalai amma, Tibetan buddhist monk once said ' in order to be happy pratice the feeling of caring for others or understanding . I think this quote means that when you show someone compassion u make your self be happy and others show compassion to you as well. Also showing comnpassion to other it shows that your a nice person and makes people be nice to you. Without happiness your life would be nothing.

I agree but disagree with this quote because many people need compassion in life , and i think when you care for other this make the person feel happy and makes u feel happy also. It makes you get this feeling that you did something good. Hoever sometimes we can't see this compassion in people or in you self. I think love is similar to compassion because they use love is someone you care about and compassion you care about them and understand them. I also disagree because when you show a lot of compassion, it makes you look like your a very nice person. People might think you so to nice and take advantage of you .

This quote makes me look back, and think about when I was nice people started to show compassion back. However, I didn't show a lot of compassion or tried to be really nice because then people take advantage of you.
This quote also compares to Miss lottie and her plants she started to show a lot of compassion to her flowers and people started to get advantage of her .???
