In the western world, compassion can be seperate into three orders (as shown). "the Tibetan term for compassion, tsewa, includes the following:
▫️the wish 'may I be free of suffering, and free of the sources of suffering'
▫️Empathy on the basis of which one can recognize the kinship of self and others
▫️Feeling compassionate for others.

"But Buddhism has never been simply a religion as we define it in the West. From the very beginning it has also had philosophical elements as well as empirical and rational elements that may invite the term 'science.'"

What do you think of this quote?

Currently reading. I've often wondered if there was any scientific correlation between science and meditation or how meditation effects our brain.

Hit up The Bookseller, a local used book store for more books to add to my shelf to read.

Found a handful of interesting ones. Usually pick books based on what I'm feeling as of recent. How do you pick your books?
