Nouns or Verbs


Thay [Thich Nhat Hanh] once said to me that Americans think of love as a noun while the Buddhist mind sees it and compassion as a verb. He also said that thinking of it as a state of being makes one sympathetic but the interaction and sharing of love creates empathy, a very different state.
