workingTOGETHERIfwithin a group, everyone have different ideas, compromises witheach other, and serves with a noble ideal, then it would be verycomfortable and pleasant.
..... Actuallyenlightenment comes by practice and in dealing with other people.
..... Whenwe work together with other people, we would have a sense of participationand then we will be able to feel the happy atmosphere of the group.If we only stand on one side and watch, then we will easily criticizeother people's action. "Why does he laugh like a silly person?""Why did that person keep crying when he saw Master? Whyis it that he/she wanted to embrace Master?" We, ourselves,cannot be active, only able to see the bad areas, unable to becompassionate with his feelings.
..... Agroup has a group's atmosphere, everyone has his/her atmosphere.When we act together with a group, the ego is easily lost. Wheneveryone is happy, we are also happy. Seeing others happy I alsobecome happy. It does not matter whether we have the same thingor not. When other people are happy in seeing Master, I am alsohappy for him. In seeing Master, a loving heart is bestowed uponhim. We, ourselves, also have the same feeling of being bestowedupon with a loving heart from Master. That is a real practitioner,a real selfless person. There is no ego, no "me". Whenwe have this ego, we have more suffering. We think the world shouldbe following, chasing us from behind, should be serving us, shouldknow our mood and what is happening today with us. Nonsense!
..... We,just one person, are not that important. Why should others takecare of us? What good have we done for society? Having not servedanyone. What sort of earth-shaking good deeds have we done thatwe are worthy of being taken care of by others, to match our mood,to see what time we are glad, what time we are happy. What nonsense!
