Suffering is part of our training program for becoming wise.
~ Ram Dass
Orchid
Genuine compassion must have both wisdom and loving kindness. That is to say, one must understand the nature of suffering from which we wish to free others (this is wisdom), and one must experience deep
Intimacy and empathy with other sentient beings (this is living kindness).
~ Dalai Lama (The Heart Sutra)
