Compassion arises naturally as the quivering of the heart in the face of pain, ours and another’s. True compassion is not limited by the separateness of pity, nor by the fear of being overwhelmed. When we come to rest in the great heart of compassion, we discover a capacity to bear witness to, suffer with, and hold dear with our own vulnerable heart the sorrows in beauties of the world.  Jack Kornfield
Loving compassion is like sunlight, awakening and bringing joy to beans. It’s beauty is like a rainbow, lifting the hearts of all who see it.  Tarthang Tulka
