<h2 align="center">COMPASSION FELLOWSHIP</h2>
 <p align="center">Sharing the Nyingma Buddhist way of Unconditional Love and Compassion, under the auspices of Dharmata Foundation. Click <a href="http://www.dharmata.org/index.html">here</a> to visit our sister organization, Dharmata Foundation.</p>
<p class="style4" align="center">
The teachings of Buddha explain that every living being longs to be
happy, that every living being longs to be free of suffering, that all
are united in this common wish. Once one sees how universal suffering
is, it is vital to transform our way of thinking and our way of acting
through following the path of compassion. When compassion has become
part of our being, we are able to fulfill the needs of others. We are
able to clear away their sorrows and bring about their happiness. </p>

<p class="style4" align="center">When individuals, families, and
communities embrace the way of compassion, there is harmony and
widespread peace. The heart turned toward compassion creates
Bodhicitta, the heart of awakening. Through that heart of awakening,
one is able to travel the path ofthe Mahayana, the Great Vehicle, as
well as the swift path of the Secret Mantra Vajrayana, which leads to
the absolute state of Buddhahood. Thus, because it brings both mundane
and spiritual joy and well being, compassion is essential</p>
<p class="style4" align="center">By the blessings of the awakened ones
and their heirs, in all places and in all times, may the supreme heart
of compassion blossom in every living being.</p>
