Hard is the life of a fledgling

Posted in Love all wings, tagged , , , on 09/07/2024| Leave a Comment »

Fledglings hardly survive without their mummy. The fledgling in the photo was no exception. I walked to where she rested every night, always hoping she would be safe and sound and praying that I could see her every day. Then one early evening, she was found lying motionless on the road. I placed her aside and gave her my best wishes.

The surviving rate for fledglings is very low. Based on my experience, I’ve tried helping them and out of seven, only one survived…

Let us give them a chance to live and at the same time, we’re also allowing ourselves to thrive better.

Reflections on Compassion by Venerable Wuling

Posted in Teachings to remember, tagged , , on 18/05/2021| Leave a Comment »

Compassion is the wish and intention to alleviate the suffering of others.

It is the unconditional care and concern for all beings. The ability to realise that all beings experience distress.

Not just ourselves or those we care for. It arises from selfishness is relinquished and even the suffering of wrong doers is seen as clearly as our own.

Born of wisdom not emotions, compassion knows no boundaries, it makes no exception. Flowing from the true nature,  compassion knows no bitterness and does not judge.

It expect nothing in return. And while love based on emotions may change to hatred, compassion arising from wisdom will never change. Free of attachment and expectation, compassion is not deterred by others’ actions nor does it not wane in the face of slander or jealousy. 

Encountering fear and grief, sadness or confusion, compassion can help heal. When there is compassion helping others reduce their suffering is not a burden. It is a joy. With compassion we can transform our lives, we can change the world.

Venerable Wuling
