Befriending Quotes

• La bondad amorosa hacia nosotros mismos no significa deshacernos de nada. Significa que podemos seguir estando locos después de todos estos años. Podemos seguir enfadados después de tantos años. Podemos seguir siendo tímidos o celosos o estar llenos de sentimientos de indignidad. No se trata de intentar deshacernos de nosotros mismos y convertirnos en algo mejor. Se trata de hacernos amigos de lo que ya somos.

• We all need support and friendship, regardless of circumstances. But where do people turn when friends and family are simply no longer there, or can't help us through a difficult time, or need all our care and attention and can't give us any in return? Thank goodness for befriending projects, who help fill the empty spaces where care, support and a listening ear need to be.

• La sociedad moderna tiene muchos puntos fuertes, pero uno de sus puntos débiles es el desmoronamiento de muchas de las antiguas estructuras y redes que apoyaban a las personas en tiempos de crisis y necesidad. Siempre que perdemos un elemento fortalecedor de la sociedad, necesitamos sustituirlo por sistemas alternativos lo antes posible. Los programas de amistad son una parte crucial de este proceso, porque llenan el vacío que la erosión social ha dejado en la vida de tantas personas vulnerables.

• Befriending provides a valuable lifeline to many people who feel isolated in their communities often as a result of ill health or poverty. I would like to thank all those who volunteer as befrienders and I hope that your numbers will increase in coming years. Your kindness and hard work is, I know, very much appreciated by those you help.

• May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their illnesses. May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free. May the powerless find power, and may people think of befriending each other. May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wilderness- the children, the aged, the unprotected- be guarded by beneficent celestials, and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.

• Hay poco que decir a favor de la pobreza, pero a menudo fue una incubadora de la verdadera amistad. Mucha gente parecerá hacerse amiga tuya cuando seas rico, pero muy pocos harán lo mismo cuando seas pobre. Si la riqueza es un imán, la pobreza es una especie de repelente. Sin embargo, la pobreza a menudo hace aflorar la verdadera generosidad de los demás.

• Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It’s about befriending who we are already. The ground of practice is you or me or whoever we are right now, just as we are. That’s the ground, that’s what we study, that’s what we come to know with tremendous curiosity and interest.

• Mi vida es sencilla, mi comida es simple y mis aposentos están despejados. En todas las cosas he buscado la claridad. Afronto de buen grado los problemas de la vida y de la muerte. La virtud, la integridad y el valor son mis prioridades. Pueden acercarse a mí, pero nunca empujarme; hacerme amigo, pero nunca coaccionarme; matarme, pero nunca avergonzarme.

• Befriending the life in others is sometimes a complex matter. There are times when we offer our strength and protection, but these are usually only temporary measures. The greatest blessing we offer others may be the belief we have in their struggle for freedom, the courage to support and accompany them as they determine for themselves the strength that will become their refuge and the foundation for their lives. I think it is especially important to believe in someone at a time when they cannot yet believe in themselves. Then your belief will become their lifeline.

• Ser amigo de la vida no es tanto una cuestión de conocimiento como de sabiduría. No se trata de dominar la vida, controlarla o ejercer nuestra voluntad sobre ella, por muy bienintencionada que sea nuestra voluntad. La amistad con la vida tiene más que ver con la inofensividad que con el control.
