Question 16: SOMETIMES, WHEN BEING TREATED WITH CRUELTY AND UNFAIRNESS, MANY PEOPLE BECOME DISSATISFIED AND TURN TO ADVOCATING FOR LOVING ONLY THEMSELVES, WHICH HAS BECOME A HARMFUL TREND. WHY IS THIS?Answer: Self-love is an instinct that can be harmful to the community and humanity as a whole. Throughout history, spiritual leaders have encouraged people to love one another, help those in need, come together in unity, and support each other to lessen the suffering in life.For instance, if someone considers marriage but knows that the other person only loves themselves – would they still want to marry? Building a strong and safe family for children requires deep mutual love between spouses; if everyone only loves and cares for themselves, the family will quickly fall apart. Thesame applies to a nation; if everyone only thinks of themselves, when the country faces a crisis, no one will be willing to defend it.The journey of self-cultivation for each person involves transcending the instinct of self-centeredness and opening one’s heart to love everyone. Even when we are rejected, betrayed or abandoned by the world, we should view it as the karmic results of our past wrongdoings and continue on the path of altruism and loving service. Religious founders throughout history have always taught people to love others, so anyone who advocates otherwise contradicts the true teachings of their religion.#Religions, #Buddhism, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna, #JannaOrderMonastery,
