There’s a saying in Buddhism that a bird needs two wings: wisdom and compassion. The development of the courageous compassion of the bodhisattvas is the point of the path to enlightenment, but in order to be effective we must first put ourselves together: develop the wisdom wing.
In other words, we first need to go beyond our limited sense of self by understanding karma – realizing that we’re the creators of our own reality and not just victims of external forces – and delving deeply into our own mind and lessening attachment, anger and the rest and growing our virtue and goodness.
Then we can see start to realize that we’re all in the same boat: we all suffer for the same reasons and have all got the same marvellous potential, so how can we not have compassion for everyone?
The great bodhisattvas are fierce in their determination to never give up on sentient beings: they “think in terms of eons,” as His Holiness the Dalai Lama says.
