260926 What I learned in my studies this morning 6

Today's Meditation:

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), The Buddha

Is it the suffering or the shared nature that draws the compassion? Or both?

Will I be able to find my inter-being (to use Thich Nhat Hanh's word) with the Buddha?

What will that mean? What would that entail?

So, the Buddha was a man who suffered in life, just like me. Guess I've truly got something to meditate on this evening.
