How should we observe and practice compassion in daily life?

First of all, we should learn to make good wishes in the world:

Observe the human beings on the earth, and may the people of the world be happy. Seeing fathers and sons, may the fathers of the world be loving and their children filial; When I see my brothers, I hope that brothers and brothers in the world will be respectful. Get food, and may the hungry be full; Get clothes, may those who are frozen be warm.

Go to the bustling city, may every family be rich and happy; Walking through the countryside and fields, I wish for a bountiful harvest every year.

Seeing someone crossing the river by boat, may he have smooth sailing; Seeing people climb mountains and mountains, I hope he will not encounter tigers and wolves. Seeing a person poor, may he be rich; Seeing a person ugly, may he be dignified; When I see someone sick, I wish him good health.

when drinking tea, I think of dedicating tea to the mother of the world; When receiving a salary, visualize the money along with immeasurable happiness to the sentient beings; Cultivating a little bit of good roots, he also unreservedly dedicates to the mothers of the world.

Promote it, you can cultivate kindness all the time, and you can turn it into Taoism when you encounter circumstances. If you can continue to practice in depth, it is not difficult to achieve the state of "taking the four seas as one and all things as one".

Most people think that "the four seas are one and all things are one" is an unattainable ideal that cannot be realized. In fact, it is impossible to reach the state of "one family and all things are one" because there is a branch of the party from himself and himself. With this kind of persistence in dividing the party, they all think about themselves and ignore others.

There are many sizes of people's hearts. Those with small hearts only regard a few people as family members and give them peace, while others are "none of their own business, hang high", and are indifferent. Those with great ambitions will take the people of a region, a nation, and a country as one family, and want to benefit the whole city, the whole nation, and the whole country. If it is sublimated again, it is not limited to a nation, a country, or only human beings, but the Dharma realm as a family.

Ordinary people also have some good deeds, but because they do not understand Buddhism, their mind is still very small: they only know this life, not the next life; I only know the earth, not the infinite world; only know human beings, not the six beings; They only know how to give food and clothing, but they don't know how to give good pleasures, liberation, and Buddhahood. Because of the narrow vision, compassion cannot be broad.

After learning Buddhism, the vision becomes far-reaching, and compassion can be extended to all beings in time and space, and to give all beings temporary and ultimate benefits.

After understanding this principle, if you look at the compassion verse of the Golden Light Sutra, you will feel that it is very specific and complete. This should be used as a tip and focus on repeated practice.
