Two steps to compassion

Compassion is a profound virtue and meditative practice that goes beyond mere feelings of warmth and goodwill. It involves allowing ourselves to deeply feel the pain and vulnerability that all living beings experience. True compassion means not only being aware of this suffering but also responding to it with genuine actions aimed at alleviating it and enhancing the well-being of others. It is about actively seeking to lessen suffering and improve the lives of those around us.
