Closeness with Every Being
For
compassion to develop toward a wide range of persons, mere knowledge of
how beings suffer is not sufficient; there has to be a sense of
closeness with regard to every being. That intimacy is established
either through merely reflecting that everyone equally wants happiness
and doesn’t want suffering, or through reflecting on the implications of
rebirth, or both, with the one reinforcing the other.
