Before we can generate compassion and love, it is important to have a
clear understanding of what we understand compassion and love to be.
In simple terms, compassion and love can be defined as positive
thoughts and feelings that give rise to such essential things in life
as hope, courage,determination, and inner strength.
In the Buddhist tradition, compassion and love are seen as two aspects
of the same thing: Compassion is the wish for another being to be free
from suffering; love is wanting them to have happiness.
