Heal With Compassion - The Magic of Self Healing, #8 - E-book - ePub

Compassion is a profound expression of love, understanding, sensitivity, and empathy towards others, so deep that one feels another's pain as their own. A genuine embodiment of compassion doesn't just empathize; they act selflessly to ease the suffering they perceive. This proactive kindness is the pinnacle of compassionate acts. In the ancient language of Sanskrit, this is termed 'karuna.' Meanwhile, Buddhists encapsulate this concept as 'loving kindness' - a potent emotion that can pave the path to spiritual liberation.

Those on a spiritual journey are often guided to embrace kindness, as it can purify past transgressions and expedite one's spiritual evolution.
