Compassion
Voice 1
Thank you for joining us for today's Spotlight program. I'm Rebekah Schipper.Voice 2
And I'm Marina Santee. Today's Spotlight is on compassion. Compassion means being able to imagine how another person feels. It means sharing those feelings and being kind to that person, because you understand that person's feelings. It can even mean sharing in the suffering of another person.Voice 1
There are three important parts of learning to show compassion to other people. The first is learning how to look inside of other people, understanding their hearts and minds. The second is learning to act selflessly, or helping other people first before you help yourself. The third important part to understanding compassion is love. People must learn to love others in order to show them compassion.Voice 2
Today, we will describe each of these important parts of compassion with a story. The first story comes from China.Voice 3
The dragon is an important part of Chinese culture. The people believe that the dragon will be a teacher to anyone who truly wishes to be wise. Tradition says that if you come near to the dragon it can teach you to have courage. Learning the dance of the dragon can teach you how to cooperate with other people. And shaking hands with the dragon can teach you compassion. Each Chinese New Year it is tradition for the dragon to perform a special dance. Its large head moves back and forth. Its long, colourful, scaly body follows. The dragon moves like a snake through the streets. Some people fear the large dancing dragon. They want to keep their distance. They do not want to be near the dragon. But, these people do not understand that there is something very special about the dragon's dance. If you were to get close to a dancing dragon you would see that the dragon's feet actually belong to people. A closer look at the dragon shows that there are people under it, holding up its body. People make the dragon dance. When you come near to the dragon you no longer need to feel fear. You now know that it is just people wearing the dragon on their backs. Now you may have respect for the people inside the dragon. You may respect their dancing skills. You may start to imagine yourself as part of the dragon dance. In fact, you may even reach out and shake the dragon's hand. This is one of the first steps towards compassion. That is, learning to understand what is on the inside.Voice 2
That's right. Many people may fear the dragon until they get close to it. People continue to have fear until they look inside of the dragon. Only after they look inside it do they really understand the dragon. The same is true with people. Showing compassion means looking inside of other people. It means trying to understand their lives, their situations, and their feelings. It means getting to know their hearts and minds. It even means getting to know the people we may fear. Have you shaken the hand of a dragon recently?Voice 1
The second important part of compassion is learning to act selflessly. Here is a story of compassion from Vietnam. No one knows for sure if this story is true. But, it still has something to teach us.Voice 4
One day, during the Vietnam War, there was a horrible accident. A US bomb landed in a small village of innocent people. It landed on a children's home. Many people died. Many were badly injured, including one young girl about eight years old. The people in the village called for help. American doctors arrived first. They found the young girl. She was bleeding a lot. The doctors knew the young girl would die if she did not receive new blood. The doctors needed to find someone who had the same kind of blood as the little girl. So, they began to test all the people in the village. Finally, they found a few children with the right kind of blood. The doctors tried to explain to the children that a small amount of their blood could save the young girl's life. They tried many times to explain. But the American doctor's did not speak the Vietnamese childrens' language. The children just stood still. They were very afraid. Finally, one young boy stepped forward with tears in his eyes. His name was Heng. Heng knew the young girl well. They were friends. He could see that his friend was in pain. He wanted to stop her pain. He decided to give his blood. The doctor put a needle in Heng's arm. The needle took out some of the boy's blood. The blood flowed from the needle into a small container. Heng cried quietly. He never stopped looking at the young girl. The doctor asked Heng if he was all right. "Why are you crying Heng? Is it hurting?" Heng shook his head and said "no." But Heng continued to cry. The doctor asked Heng again, "Heng are you in pain?" Again Heng said no. Finally, a Vietnamese nurse arrived. She could see that Heng was afraid. She began to talk to him. She asked him why he was crying. Soon a smile came over the face of the nurse. She even laughed! The doctors did not understand why she was laughing. So the nurse explained Heng's fear. Heng had believed that he had to give all of his blood to the young girl. He believed that he would have to die to save his friend's life. But Heng was still willing to do it.Voice 1
Finally, showing compassion means having love for all people. This is whether you know them or not. Sometimes one person may ask another person, "How much do you love me?" And the other will answer by spreading his arms a part saying, "I love you this much."Voice 2
Christians believe that the story of Jesus is the greatest compassion story of all time. The Bible tells of his love for all people. It tells that Jesus died on a cross to save people who believe in him. That is, he saves them from sin and death. And He invites them to live with him in heaven. Christians say that this was the greatest act of compassion.Voice 1
Some people tell the story another way. Their ideas can help us better understand Jesus' story, his love and his compassion. They say, One day a man asked Jesus, "Jesus, how much do you love me?" Jesus then spread his arms as wide as he could. Soldiers nailed his hands to either side of a cross. Jesus said, "I love you this much." And then he died.Voice 2
