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.
