About This Quote
Compassion is a powerful emotion. It arises from the bond we feel with all living things – animals and plants – and with our fellow human beings. Compassion can help us see the world as it really is, and then we can act accordingly. We can do things that would be too difficult to do if we were filled with anger. The Dalai Lama speaks of the virtue of compassion as a tool for reaching higher states of consciousness.
