“If we do believe in God then we also must believe in the brotherhood of mankind. How then can we not feel it when some of our bothers of sisters are in pain? This compassionate feeling is what drives us to act and it is in acting that we are free. We may not be able to measure the results of our individual action but as a group we shall surely be able to help humanity and in helping humanity we are also helping ourselves and providing for a sustainable future.”

“With compassion we voluntarily dethrone our self from the centre of our world and place another there. Compassion is not pity, for pity demeans both the giver and the receiver; it is the ability to feel with the other and enter with generosity into his or her perspective. Compassion also implies, and would be empty without, an unqualified acceptance of the other person.”

“Pity, a judgement; who are we to place ourselves in equality with the Creator of All Things. Sharing another’s human experience is Compassion and the Art of Being.”

“Cuando empezamoz a comprender que la otra persona es tan importante como nosotros, que las diferencias nos hacen únicos y a la vez nos unen en un aporte comunitario, cuando practicamos el respeto y el cariño con otros seres humanos, estamos poniendo la Compasión en practica, de este modo empieza a girar la rueda de la Unidad dentro de la diversidad, aportando amor y comprensión en este proceso.”

“Compassion is the basis for action, enabling connection to the Creator’s heart, through which we recognize the other person as my ‘relation through God’. Compassion sees the situation, has no judgement, and will help to improve it.”
