Are you compassionate?

It's a misunderstood word;  Compassion.  The key to understanding compassion is to see it as a verb.  Compassion is not a feeling it is a doing.  How will you help?  TJS.

What is compassion? It is not simply a sense of sympathy or caring for the person suffering, not simply a warmth of heart toward the person before you, or a sharp clarity of recognition of their needs and pain, it is also a sustained and practical determination to do whatever is possible and necessary to help alleviate their suffering.  -Rigpa Quote of the Day
