Abstract :

Kindness, mercy, compassion and sympathy are the best and the most important manners of theosophy and vital principle of love mysticism to all creatures which is in fact love to God. In Islamic theology, beloved is unique and generally is Lord. In Buddha religion, compassion is one of the learnings which is of an important status and is a key issue in all stages of life. The final source of compassion is nothing but optimism that derives from Nirvana. Nirvana is Dharma body which Bodhisattva is the complete manifestation of Dharma. The main philosophy of this belief is understanding the reality (tatom asi). Bodhisattva should pass a path for perfection in order to reach tranquility and traverse Dharma level and become full of compassionate and sympathy for all creatures. This article tries to study the basics of compassion in Buddha religion.
