Helping others is beautiful, but wise compassion also knows our limits.
Help Within Your Capacity
We do not have to solve every problem. Helping within our capacity is more sustainable.
Include Yourself in Compassion
Resting and caring for our responsibilities is not selfish.
Help Without Creating Dependence
Sometimes an opportunity or thoughtful guidance helps another person stand on their own.
A Dhamma Perspective
Compassion wishes others well, while wisdom helps us know how to express it skillfully.
What You Can Do Today
Help one person in a way that does not damage your own essential responsibilities.
One Good Thing Today
Speak to yourself as gently as you would speak to someone who is struggling.
Come Back Tomorrow
Wise compassion does not destroy our strength. It helps our kindness continue.
