One of the Four Immeasurable Qualities is ‘Compassion‘.  In the Tibetan language, it is ‘Nying jé‘.  Nying jé is the practice and aspiration that all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.  Training the mind to feel an authentic quality of compassion towards all beings, one sets the intention that all actions arising from one’s body, speech and mind will help to alleviate the suffering of all beings that one encounters either directly or indirectly.
