Compassion can be a companion and an ally that walks with us as we engage with the turbulence of the world and our own hearts. It's one of the many ways that a free heart and mind expresses itself in the world. Practicing Dhamma, cultivating wisdom and compassion, prepares our heart for compassionate action in the world.
