“A friend told me of visiting the Dalai Lama and asking him for a succinct definition on compassion. She prefaced her question by describing how heart- stricken she’d felt when, earlier that day, she’d seen a man in the street beating a mangy stray dog with a stick. ‘Compassion,’, the dalai Lama told her, ‘is when you feel as sorry for the man as you do for the dog.’”
