Compassion & Loving-Kindness

Two very human qualities that are highly regarded in Buddhism are Compassion and Loving-kindness . Together with two other mental qualities, Sympathetic Joy and Equanimity, they are know as the Four Divine Abidings.

The Buddha recommended that we develop these qualities. These attitudes are said to be excellent or sublime because they are the right or ideal way of conduct towards living beings. They provide the answer to all situations arising from social contact. They are the great removers of tension, the great peace-makers in social conflict, and the great healers of wounds suffered in the struggle of existence........
