| English | And once it is equally engaged [towards an enemy] as towards a friend, then, in stages, one should meditate upon all the beings of the ten directions. And when compassion is equally engaged towards all beings (regarded) as dear as a suffering child, carrying its own distinct flavor in the form of wishing to rescue (them) from suffering, then it is perfected and obtains the designation ‘great compassion’—as is described in the Akṣayamati Sūtra. And this stage of cultivating compassion is described by the Buddha in the Abhidharma Sūtra and elsewhere. |
