One supreme greatness of the Buddha is His boundless compassion joined with perfect wisdom.
Seeing the suffering of all beings as His own, He taught the path not for fame or power, but solely to free others from sorrow.
With infinite patience and loving-kindness, He guided even the most lost and hostile beings toward peace.
Remembering this compassion, the heart naturally fills with gratitude, faith, and deep devotion to the Blessed One.
