๐ Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
What Is True Compassion?
To be truly compassionate is to be benevolent.
To be benevolent is to be generous;
to be benevolent is to be tolerant;
to be benevolent is to be accepting;
to be benevolent is to be forgiving;
to be benevolent is to put oneself in anotherโs shoes.
Only when you have the mind of the Creator,
which is great nature and Truth,
can you truly be benevolent.
This is true compassion.
