The Practice of Compassion
|
Compassion is deep empathy for another. It is understanding and caring, and a strong desire to ease their distress.
Compassion flows freely from our hearts when we let go of judgments and seek to understand.
Our compassionate presence helps people to know they are not alone. Sometimes they don't need us to fix anything. They only need to be heard with compassion, so that they can connect to their own inner wisdom. Whether a silent prayer or a gentle touch,
compassion is a priceless gift.
"Compassion is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too."
Frederick Buechner (American Author, b.1926)
The practice of Compassion:
I feel empathy for the pain of others.
I take time to reach out to those who need help.
I care for others by listening deeply.
I refrain from judging.
I have compassion for myself.
Adapted from the Virtues Project International.
