Compassion
embracing all beings
sorrow for the sufferings or trouble of another or others; altruism; accompanied by the urge to help; deep sympathy
The Buddha realized that life identified with form ultimately means suffering, and that non-attachment is the path to go beyond. Our human experience becomes divine expression through compassion. Seeing the depth, feeling for the experience of others, sincerely caring about their happiness and well-being, is to know that everything is our reflection. This is the shift from fear to love.
Inquiry
Do I give enough of myself to others?
Intention
I am reminding myself to be forgiving and understanding, both to myself and everyone in my life. All beings are doing their best, given their state of awareness and circumstance.
