The Ground Of Compassion
From The Online Gatherings
www.NeilMcKinlay.com

Among other things, the Online Gatherings have been considering the ground of compassion. What is needed for us to experience a free and natural flow of compassion - of feeling (-passion) with (com-) - in our practice and our lives?

The image posted here offers a few replies.

The right-hand side reminds us that compassion’s flow is facilitated by a sense of embodiment that includes a deep sense of connection with the web of being. Through slowing down, surrendering, and settling, we become more fully aware of our relatedness with beings seen and unseen, living and past, human and other than human, known and unknown.

On the left we are reminded that, in developing this sense of community, it is helpful to understand our practice instructions not simply as stepping stones to be moved through as quickly as possible, but also as portals that invite us into the living experience waiting behind/within terms such as ‘slow down’, ‘surrender’, and ‘settle’.

In recent months, then, we have been reminded that compassion’s flow is aided by two complimentary understandings of meditation instructions, and by an increasingly subtle and inclusive experience of community, of ‘in common-ness’.
