[font face="centaur"][font size="4"]The second element of true love is compassion.
Compassion is the capacity to understand the suffering
in oneself and in the other person. If you understand your
own suffering, you can help him to understand his suffering.
Understanding suffering brings compassion and relief.
You can transform your own suffering and help transform
the suffering of the other person with the practice of
mindfulness and looking deeply.[/font][/font]

From the number of recs so far 
I've been getting these from an email newsletter by DharmaCrafts. I haven't bought anything from them in years, yet they still send me emails, including these "Buddhist Teachings." So, I'm happy to share them with everyone and add a little more variety around here.
