n this section, you have learned: that cultivating compassion begins with recognizing the universal wish to be free from suffering that all beings are interconnected that suffering is caused by ignorance—the temporary obscurations of your true nature how to practice compassion for all beings. Do not feel bad if these practices feel difficult at first. Just try your best, and let go. This practice can feel out of reach—thinking of beings you do not know. What strategies allow you to connect with all beings? What allows you to open your heart beyond your immediate surroundings? Each night before you go to bed, reflect on the positive deeds you did throughout the day. This could include anything, like helping others, thinking fondly of others, or aspiring to do good deeds. After you bring these virtuous activities to mind, dedicate any positivity that might have come from these deeds to other beings. Think, “Due to the virtue of my deeds, may all beings everywhere be free from suffering and its causes.” It is also okay to put special focus on beings in your own life who may be struggling. ~ Compassion for All Beings: Application ~ Mingyur Rinpoche The practice of immeasurable compassion in daily life that I want to emphasize here is about dedication. You can begin, in the morning, with the right motivation. We talked about this for the practice of love. Now, before you go to sleep, you can dedicate whatever virtuous deeds you did in your life, such as practicing compassion or helping others, the environment, or whoever needs it — whatever virtuous practices. Think of those and even happiness. Whatever you experience — happiness, good circumstances that you encounter in your life — you should dedicate to all beings. Dedicate it for world peace, so that the world may be free from natural disasters, war, and monkey-mind problems, and so that, eventually, all beings may recognize their innate compassion and really be free, awakening their fundamental, great qualities. Do that at the end of the day. If you want to dedicate particularly for your friends or family, or for someone who is having a hard time or having problems, you can dedicate particularly for them and then for all beings before you go to sleep. Try that. Mindfulness and compassion actually develop at the same pace. The more mindful you become, the easier you'll find it to be compassionate. And the more you open your heart to others, the more mindful you become in all your activities. Mingyur Rinpoche. At the end of the meditation practice, Mingyur Rinpoche explains that even when you are not explicitly meditating on compassion, you always have compassion. How does this affect your relationship with your practice? Feel more warm and open hearted. IMingyur Rinpoche explains three approaches to meditating on compassion for all beings. They are based on the body (feeling love), speech (using phrases), and mind (imagining taking suffering and sending well-being). Which of these approaches feels most accessible to you?

Just try your best, and let go. It’s good to think about things that I’ve done positive during the day that benefit others or just fine things are kind thoughts or kind gestures or on loving interactions. That’s a wonderful night to go to sleep on. And then to dedicate that to all beings into others or to those who are suffering or those I know who need compassion or may be suffering or struggling with something in their lives particularly or people that I know. Just picture being all beings like around the world and in different places that may need assistance or helping or suffering like people that are refugees in war and starving and hungry and that and then I feel connected and compassion and also for friends and family members and people I know in my prayers.
