Evolution of Love 2

Serve Your Enemies

A truly religious person wishes and prays that those who curse and harass his religion be the first to go to heaven or paradise.
Genuinely religious people do not claim that only followers of their faith go someplace wonderful while nonbelievers all go someplace horrible.

The more a person curses and harms you, the more you should respect him. The Buddha always said that we should strive most to help and serve our enemies and that we should always put them ahead of ourselves.

Once you begin to cleanse your heart, you develop such attitudes naturally.

With eventual supreme enlightenment.
