In Mark 16: 1-8 Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jesus, and Salome heard the news that Jesus had risen from the dead. They were excepting the tomb to be closed and for Jesus' body to be in it. Instead they saw that the tomb had been open and Jesus' body was not there. They saw an angel who told them that Jesus was alive. This frightened them because they knew they were in the presence of an angel of God. They desperately wanted to find Jesus and see if the angel was telling the truth. They feared people would find out and try to kill Him again. They feared no one would believe them because they could barely believe it themselves.

Mysticism is direct experience with God. Christians experience mysticism when they pray, fast and give alms. Others find mysticism through ecstatic worship and entheogens. Since we as Christians believe that God dwells in us through the Holy Spirit, we can all experience God directly.

"If you want others to be happy, practise compassion. If you want to be happy, practise compassion." Dalai Lama
I think that this quote means that campassion is the key to happiness. If you are a compassionate person, you will be happy. Others will see and feel your compassion and be happy as well. Compassion is like love, the more you give away the more you have. You can never be too compassionate, for Jesus was so compassionate He gave His life for us. People who have compassion forgive easily, therefore they have little to be unhappy about. If the whole world was compassionate, we would live in a perfect world. There would be no wars or fighting because everyone would care and understand each other. Compassion means to put everyone before youself, just like Jesus did.
