Introducing Buddha: A Graphic Guide (Graphic Guides)

This spontaneous compassion comes from having cut through all conceptualizations by the force of discriminating awareness or prajna. Prajna is fully liberated intelligence.

compassion could be thoroughly aggressive, forcing our kindness down people’s throats. Without prajna, the goodness of the bodhisattva would be mere piousness.

Without a thorough training in meditation, and without a clear motive to help other people, practising tantra is dangerous and ultimately self-destructive. Crazy wisdom without compassion is a deadly combination.
