Conscientious Compassion
|
When compassion and justice are unified, we arrive at what I call conscientious compassion.
This is compassion, not merely as a beautiful inward feeling of empathy
with those suffering, but a compassion that gives birth to a fierce
determination to uplift others, to tackle the causes of their suffering,
and to establish the social, economic, and political conditions that
will enable everyone to flourish and live in harmony.
- Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi, "Conscientious Compassion" |
