Here's some teachings from Thubten Chodron -
When we cherish others it is the source of all the positive actions that we do, and of course, we reap the results of our positive actions. In addition, the other people reap the results of our positive actions. Because when we cherish others, we do things that benefit them, and they are happy. Cherishing others is the source for happiness in the world because it creates happiness for them, and it creates happiness for us.
Cherishing others is the source of a peaceful society. It is the source of a peaceful planet. When we cherish others, we stop harming them – we start caring for them. That is the cause of peace. We don’t create peace by dropping bombs, whether it is physical bombs or verbal bombs. The buddha
A person who has purified all defilements and developed all good qualities. “The Buddha” refers to Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha who lived over 2,500 years ago in India. Buddha was very clear, and we can see from our own lives that hatred and hostility don’t cease by creating more hatred and hostility. They only cease by cherishing others. If we care about peace in the world, we cherish others.
The advantages of cherishing others
All the best!
