Fundamental Philosophies and TheoriesRevolutionary Thoughts and Ideas

Compassion is rooted in respect for the inherent dignity of life—our own and others’—and a desire to see that dignity triumph. As SGI President Daisaku Ikeda writes, “True Buddhist compassion has nothing to do with sentimentality or mere pity. This is because sentimentality or mere pity cannot help the other person achieve victory in life; it cannot truly relieve suffering and impart joy.”
