Second, compassion (karuṇā), in two parts: first, Mañjuśrī asks; second, Jingming answers. Jingxi says: "How could greatness of merit exceed loving-kindness? Yet taking this loving-kindness to cause the severance of afflictions, it is therefore said to share it. One should know that the preceding loving-kindness already contains uprooting suffering. Clarifying compassion again is to cause one to recognize the distinct characteristic—namely, the great compassion of the house of great loving-kindness. The subsequent minds of sympathetic joy and equanimity are also like this in their sameness and difference."
