The Four Types of Friends From The Lord Buddha teachings

The Lord Buddha spoke of great things during his 45 years, tirelessly teachings the Dharma and had taught many Dharma and Sutras to humanity for betterment and to leave sufferings ultimately. In his noble teaching's had many pearls of wisdom for humanity to 'ehipassiko' and they're still relevant of today after 2,500 years since the noble one entered Nirvana.

The Four Types of Friends

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beside Lord Buddha teachings, his noble one also gave advice on four different types of people that we meet in life. The noble one advice in the wholesome way of friendships that we'll make in life, because those who are wholesome will mold our environment and influence us altogether. He described the four different types of friends we meet and should seek: the helper, the friend who endures in good times and bad, the mentor, and the compassionate friend.

1) The Helper

This person can be identified by four things: protecting you when you are vulnerable, a refuge when you’re afraid, and in various tasks providing more than what is requested. One who is always there to give aid when needed, one who asks for nothing in return. They will always help and protect you and show you the way when you are lost or need guidance.

2) The Enduring Friend

He can be identified by four things: by telling you their secrets, guarding your own secrets closely, not abandoning you in misfortune, and even dying for you. The friend who stands by you through every event in your life, and will always there for you. The enduring one does not pass judgment but is simply there through it all for you.

3) The Mentor

Can be identified by four things: by restraining you from wrongdoing, guiding you towards good actions, telling you what you ought to know, and showing you the Lord Buddha path to the liberation. This type is a teacher or parent/care giver, someone who teaches through loving kindness in their own actions, and compassion. This person has the most patience with you and truly wants to set an example.

4) The Compassionate Friend

Can be identified by four things: by not rejoicing in your misfortune, delighting in your good fortune, preventing others from speaking ill of you, and encouraging others who praise your good qualities. This person showers you with loving kindness praise and happiness regardless of times. They are there to hold your hand and support you through everything. They express their loving kindness and compassion to you through words, actions, and physical touch
