True compassion,
Is not an attachment to the form of good deeds,
But the endless tenderness that naturally emerges from a heart without dwelling.

Seeing others as oneself is compassion for others.
Seeing oneself as oneself is compassion for oneself.
Seeing all things as oneself is compassion for all things.

When the heart of compassion arises, thoughts and intentions,
Words and actions are like sunshine, pure water, and flowers,
Bringing brightness, purity, and joy to the world.
