The Buddha's compassion inspires compassion in others from "summary" of The Buddha from Babylon by Harvey Kraft

The Buddha's compassion is like a bright light that shines upon all beings, illuminating the path of kindness and understanding. This profound quality of empathy and care is not confined to the Buddha alone, but radiates outward, touching the hearts of those who come into contact with it. When one witnesses the boundless compassion of the Buddha, it stirs something deep within them, awakening their own capacity for empathy and benevolence. This ripple effect of compassion is a powerful force for positive change in the world. As individuals are inspired by the Buddha's example, they in turn become beacons of compassion in their own right, spreading kindness and empathy wherever they go. This chain reaction of compassion creates a network of support and understanding that transcends boundaries of race, religion, and culture. The Buddha's teachings emphasize the importance of cultivating compassion not only towards others, but also towards oneself. By practicing self-compassion, individuals are able to heal their own wounds and cultivate a sense of inner peace and well-being. This inner transformation then extends outward, allowing individuals to act with greater kindness and understanding towards others. In a world that often seems filled with division and strife, the Buddha's compassion serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration. It reminds us that no matter how dark the world may seem, there is always the potential for kindness and understanding to prevail. By embodying the Buddha's spirit of compassion, we can create a more harmonious and loving world for all beings.
