The qualities of a real good friend:
They offer you what is hard to give.
They help you for what is hard to do.
They undergo with you what is hard to endure.
They reveal their secrets to you.
They keep your secrets.
When misfortunes strike, they do not abandon you.
When you're down and out, they do not look down on you.
If your friend possesses one or more of the above qualities, you are no doubt the lucky person in the world.
On the contrary, If your friends do not obtain any of above qualities, please don’t be disappointed.
First, use “diary” as your close friend who listens to you, tell it all your emotions and write down a self-encouraging quote everyday.
Then, perform a 10-minutes loving-kindness meditation daily to establish your own goodwill.
In the near future, good friends and great teachers will appear one after another in your life.
「善友」的特質:
他們提供您很難給予的所需。
他們協助您哪些難以完成的事物。
他們與您共度難以忍受的事情。
他們向您透露他們的秘密。
他們保守您的秘密。
當不幸來襲時,他們不會放棄您。
當您跌入人生谷底時, 他們不會瞧不起您。
倘若您的朋友具備以上其中一個或更多的特質,您顯然是世界上的幸運兒。
相反地,如果您身邊的友人,完全不具備以上任何特質,請不要就此感到失望。
首先,以「日記」作為聽您傾訴的朋友,並每天寫下一句勉勵自己的話語。
不久的將來,善友和善知識就會一一出現在您的生命中。
