Joan, I think Aloka's offerings are really beneficial (I found the extract from Ajahn Sumedho just what I needed myself - so thank you Aloka

)

Compassion, for me, comes from our intentions - it's heart-felt. So, if I'm experiencing difficulties with someone, which is quite normal in the process of our life, I immediately consider the love, compassion that they need, irrespective of what their behaviour may be like at the time. I don't feel the need to tell them that is what I'm doing. Simply being aware that it is my intention seems right.

Something my teacher said to me comes to mind right now, "Do the best you can based on the wisdom you have now"
