Concepts of Compassion in Early Tibetan Dzogchen Texts
Different concepts about compassion are explained in various
Dzogchen texts which were translated into Tibetan in the Eighth
Century AD. These non-traditional presentations of the
fundamental Buddhist principle of compassion provide rich
background for studies of early Buddhism in Tibet.
The texts explain how all the types of compassion prescribed
and practiced by followers of various spiritual vehicles like
Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana are small and limited. The
texts also explain two categories of unlimited compassion. |
