Buddhist tradition speaks of 
two levels of bodhichitta, or compassionate mind. On the relative level,
 compassion consists of intentional acts of kindness. On an absolute 
level, bodhichitta requires a total recognition of the nondual nature of
 reality. Abiding in the selflessness of our true nature, compassionate 
actions occur spontaneously without thought or premeditation, as 
expressions of enlightened awareness.
