The Sixteen Attributes On Behalf Of Others

[adept]

In this post I mentioned opening up another thread dealing with the above topic.

Well, here goes.

 

These all look good qualities to have when written down and contemplated on, but how do we actually go about putting them into practice ?

 

1. Mercy

2. Gentleness

3. Patience

4. Non-Attachment

5. Control

6. Skill

7. Joy

8. Spiritual Love

9. Humility

10. Reflection

11. Restfulness

12. Seriousness

13. Effort

14. Controlled Emotion

15. Magnanimity

16. Concentration

 

Is it possible for a human to possess all these, at all times ?

I highly doubt it.

However, it certainly gives us something to aim for.

Thanks for the thread Adept.

 

I doubt it too, at least for a mortal man. (Hehehe. I might have gotten myself into trouble with that statement. We'll see.)

 

However, I will hold back for the moment from more in-depth comments to allow others to comment.

 

But yes, I think that these are characteristics worthy of at least trying to emulate.

 

Peace & Love!
