## Resource

Ajahn Brahmali explores the essential quality of compassion (karuṇā) in Buddhism, emphasizing how it must be balanced with wisdom to become truly transformative. Compassion, in Buddhism, means genuinely wishing to alleviate the suffering of others. True compassion uplifts both the giver and the receiver. Wisdom ensures compassion is skillful and effective, rooted in understanding the true nature of suffering, impermanence, and non-self. Ajahn Brahmali emphasizes that compassion must respect causes and conditions, recognizing what can and cannot be changed.
