ဘဝနေနည်း!!!
🌼According to the Buddha (explained in the Sigālovāda Sutta, Dīgha Nikāya 31), there are four true friends a wise person should cherish:
🌱 Four Types of Good Friends.
1.The Helpful Friend (Upakāraka)
Helps you when you are careless or in trouble
Protects your property
Supports you in times of fear
Gives more than expected when help is needed.
2.The Friend Who Shares Happiness and Sorrow (Samāna-sukha-dukkha)
Confides secrets
Keeps your secrets safe
Stands by you in difficulties
Even gives up their life for your sake
3.The Good Counselor (Atthakkhāyī)
Prevents you from doing evil
Encourages you to do good
Tells you what you should know
Shows you the path to happiness and wisdom.
4.The Compassionate Friend (Anukampaka)
Does not rejoice in your misfortune
Rejoices in your success
Stops others from speaking ill of you
Speaks well of you.
☘️ Buddha’s Advice
A wise person recognizes these four as true friends, who support moral growth, peace of mind, and liberation.
