FOUR BHAVANÄS
Maitri Bhävanä (Friendship)
Lesson 18-Four Bhävanäs (Thoughts)
64
Pramod Bhävanä (Appreciation) Pramod Bhävanä is the thought of appreciating others. We should appreciate the success of our friends.
If someone is able to do things better than we do, we should try to learn from them. We should not be jealous of others: instead, we should admire them.
Maitri Bhävanä is the thought of friendship. Mahävir Bhagawän said, "We must be a friend to all living beings." The feeling of friendship brings love and respect to others. If we think about friendship, our thoughts, words, and actions will be kind, and we will not hurt anybody.
