Giuseppe Luigi Federico, here. I know no general perspectives, only particular ones, in all honesty, so let me use my imagination: Don't criticize me if I disappoint you: I think you asked for it. "General perspective"? Hmm-m. Hmm. Let's see: When a practitioner is newly awakened, others are surprised and immensely impressed by the natural and unassuming compassion that flows. If they keep practicing, the compassion keeps flowing. This is only following an awakening, mind you. But just ask the spouses of these people, for example. I leave you to your own resources, and compassionately release you to your own Recognizance, Prisoner. Just stay clean and do not get into trouble again. The Law is watching. --Joe (I am not watching) > Anthony Wu <wuasg@...> wrote: > > 'In lay terms' means in general, from a general perspective, including the > point of view of a senior zenist, and that from an idiot like me.

How do other people see your compassion?
