Thích Nhất Hạnh: Compassion As the Heart of Our Practice


How can we bring about a drop of compassion that can put out the fire of hatred? 

You know, they do not sell compassion in the supermarket. If they sold compassion, we would only need to bring it home and we could solve the problem of hatred and violence in the world very easily. 

But compassion can only be produced in our own heart by our own practice.
