Brahma Vihara: Compassion (Karuna)

This is the second talk on the Brahma Virhara. These are considered to be attitudes that are boundless. Meaning they are not just reserved for our friends and family. In this talk we look at compassion. Compassion is the wish for all sentient beings to be free from suffering. It counters cruelty, which is its far enemy. And its near enemy is pity. So that has a different feel than compassion.

To become a sublime state of mind, a Brahma Vihara, compassion has to reach beyond the limited group of individuals or beings whom we love and actually extend to all sentient beings.
