在我看来,增长内心的方式可以包括以下几项:
1. 修习慈悲心:通过冥想和醒觉的修习,我们可以让我们的心灵在面对痛苦时颤动。这是一条微妙而深远的道路。
2. 发展内心的丰盈:即使我们没有物质的东西可以给予,我们也可以提供我们的关注、能量和赞赏。给予可以扩大我们的内心。
3. 注意我们的幸福时刻:我们可以学习去注意我们自己和他人的幸福时刻。这样做可以增加我们对内心积极情绪的感知。
4. 培养爱与连接:我们所有人都生来有爱和连接的能力,我们可以发展这些能力,并唤醒我们的心灵,使其在任何情况下都能保持开放。
请记住,这些做法需要耐心和时间。但是,只要你坚持,你就会看到你的心灵正在成长并变得更加慈悲和理解。请积极体验和接纳这个过程,因为这就是我们真实地活在当下和开启内心智慧的方式。

Compassion is known in Buddhist teaching as the quivering of the heart in response to pain or suffering.
Compassion allows us to use our own pain and the pain of others as a vehicle for connection. This is a delicate and profound path.
The Kindness Handbook
The Buddha said that within this fathom-long body lies the entire universe. If we can understand our own experience and connect to it, we can connect to all of life, to the whole universe. – The Force of Kindness
Walking the Middle Way is a process of continual discovery every moment. We cannot rely on the Buddha’s walking of the Middle Way twenty-five hundred years ago, or even our own discovery of it yesterday. Open and vulnerable and alive, we must realize it over and over again in each moment.
– A Heart As Wide As The World
Meditation teaches us to focus and to pay clear attention to our experiences and responses as they arise, and to observe them without judging them. That allows us to detect harmful habits of mind that were previously invisible to us.
Real Happiness
The English word “courage” has the same etymological root as the French coeur, which means “heart.” To have courage, just as to have faith, is to be full of heart.

borhood talking with a street person who was usually on
our corner. “I had a terrible winter,” she said. “I was sick
with pneumonia for a long time. But now spring is com -
ing, and I feel so much better. So today I want to share
the joy.” And she put a roll of bills into the other woman’s
hand.
2. We develop awareness of our inner abundance. This is
the foundation of generosity. When I studied in Burma,
I saw that even the poorest people freely made small of-
ferings of food to support meditators, and they seemed
delighted to watch us eat. Giving enlarged them. If we
have nothing material to give, we can offer our attention,
our energy, our appreciation. The world needs us. It doesn’t
deplete us to give.
3. We learn to notice our moments of happiness and the
happiness of others. When I was studying with the great

It certainly might not feel like the light of love is always within us.
Sometimes we might feel resentful of our friends and family, or get
angry at ourselves, and think we have no goodness or kindness
available. But all of us are born with the capacity to love and
connect, and we can develop these capacities and awaken our
hearts to be available no matter what the circumstances.
Do the good in
front of you, even
if it feels small.

And, as a number of other studies have shown, it turns out that
this friendliness and love is good for not only the metaphorical
heart but for the body itself and, in the case of the Emory study,
the actual physical beating heart. The researchers included
biological measures (e.g., saliva tests, stress hormones) to assess
whether the practice was making a difference. The children who
trained themselves to generate more compassion for themselves
and others showed lower levels of inflammation, and therefore may
have decreased the chances of bad health outcomes in the future.
