1. Whole picture of sufferings
There is no doubt that nobody wants suffering and
everyone wants happiness. However, everyone is
creating causes of sufferings unconsciously by
oneself. Cause of suffering is the disturbing mind.

Among disturbing mind, there are self-centered mind
(ex. attachment (obsession), greed, arrogance) and
destructive emotions (ex. anger, hatred, fear,
jealousy, sorrow). And the cause of disturbing mind
is self-grasping which arises from ignorance of the
ultimate truth of interdependence.

2. Whole picture of happiness
If you really want to be happy, you must at least stop
creating the cause of sufferings. Then, you need to be able to
create the cause of happiness intentionally as much as
possible. For that, the best method is to master the wisdom
possible. For that, the best method is to master the wisdom
of understanding the ultimate truth of interdependence. And
the other method is to be convinced of the law of causality
or the effects of the practice of compassion, through your
own experience. If you can do it, you will automatically
practice compassion, and everything will begin to rotate
positively.

3. How to generate Compassion
Compassion is what makes our lives meaningful. Compassion
prevents us from creating the cause of sufferings and enables
us to create the cause of happiness intentionally. Concrete
methods to generate compassion are as follows:
1. to master the wisdom of understanding the ultimate
1. to master the wisdom of understanding the ultimate
truth of interdependence
2. to be convinced of the law of causality through one's
own experience
3. to be convinced of the effects of the practice of
compassion through one's own experience

4. Reason
Compassion, namely care for the happiness of others, is the top most
important Reason. In other words, Reason means Universal Moral
Ethics. I think there are various Reason but we can broadly divide
into two major categories as follows:
1. Reason which controls disturbing mind (Self-protection purposes):
Patience, Mercy, Tolerance, Forgiveness, Self-discipline, Generosity
Patience, Mercy, Tolerance, Forgiveness, Self-discipline, Generosity
⇒ Effect to protect Compassion and maintain Calm mind
2. Reason which generate Calm mind (Altruism purposes):
Compassion, Warm-heart, Gentleness, Kindness, Care, Respect,
Appreciation, Humility, Self-confidence, Sincerity, Honesty, Trust,
Empathy ⇒ Effect to achieve mental and physical good health
and a holistic view, through Calm mind

5. Path to Enlightenment (1)
If we gain the ability to control anger and attachment
(obsession) through reason which controls disturbing mind,
we have mastered methods to overcome sufferings. And if we
gain the ability to maintain the inner peace through reason
gain the ability to maintain the inner peace through reason
which generates calm mind, we have obtained tickets for a
meaningful and happy life by achieving mental and physical
good health and seeing the reality. However at this stage, we
have not closed all files of our previous negative actions
printed in consciousness yet.

6. Path to Enlightenment (2)
Therefore, disturbing mind will continue to arise, so we will
need to continue to overcome sufferings until we will close
all the previous negative files completely. If we create more
forceful positive actions than the impact of previous
forceful positive actions than the impact of previous
negative actions, we will be able to close all the previous
negative files completely. The final stage of closing all the
previous negative files completely is the ultimate
enlightenment, and sources of sufferings and the need for
reincarnation will be both eliminated.

7. Proof of Enlightenment
Only enlightened person can prove the enlightenment. Therefore, in
order to prove our enlightenment, we need to find out an enlightened
person around us, or we need to guide a person of high potential to the
enlightenment if we can't find out an enlightened person. Buddha also
seems to have had a hard time to prove his enlightenment and he chose
seems to have had a hard time to prove his enlightenment and he chose
a method of teaching his five fellow practitioners his enlightenment
after all. Then Buddha succeeded in letting them attain enlightenment
one after another and got their supports as his disciples for his
preaching mission. Is there anyone who has attained enlightenment or
has a high potential for the enlightenment?
