Karuna - Compassion
Daniel | October 8, 2008Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
Dalai Lama
While Loving Kindness is a mental state, Compassion is not. Compassion is an action. It is the activity of Loving Kindness. Or, if you prefer a more groovy sort of feel, let’s say that Compassion is Loving Kindness arisen. Except when it’s not. That’s what I like about thinking of Compassion as an action. You don’t have to be in a particularly compassionate mood, or even a good mood, really.
