TO ESCAPE FROM SUFFERING
The Buddha tells us that if we wish to escape from suffering, we should develop understanding and increase compassion: PRAJNA and KARUNA. Prajna is the deepening of one’s awareness, making oneself into a spiritual being. Karuna is the quality in which prajna manifests itself. It is compassion for the whole of humanity.
