Avalokiteshvara Compassion Buddha Blessing
10 am Jan. 19, 2014
Avalokiteshvara is the Buddhist deity who personifies the ideal of compassion. He is the Bodhisattva who has made a great vow to assist sentient beings in times of difficulty, and to postpone his own Buddhahood until he has assisted every sentient being in achieving Nirvāṇa.

We generally think of compassion as being a state of pain, of sadness, because you see the suffering of someone else and you see what's causing that suffering and you know you can't do anything to remove the cause of that suffering and therefore the suffering itself.
In Buddhism, compassion is founded on the recognition that, whether or not you can benefit that being or that person in their immediate situation and circumstances, you can generate the basis for their ultimate benefit. And the confidence in that removes the frustration or the misery which otherwise somehow afflicts ordinary compassion. So, when compassion is cultivated in that way, it is experienced as delightful rather than miserable. Immeasurable
compassion is the compassion that is not going to help one person at the expense of hurting another. It is a compassion that is felt equally for all beings.
