Compassion

Compassion is at the heart of Buddhist practice.

It is also an effective method that enables us to go beyond this compulsive fixation that we have in regards to ourselves, while at the same time breaking down the barriers created by the five passions of ignorance, pride, desire, jealously and anger.

Compassion is first and foremost, a method for reversing our self-centred attitude and in doing so we begin to see all beings without exception as being equal, so the separation between ourselves and others is greatly reduced.
