This is likely a Buddhist Concept even though it can lead to complete enlightenment in a person anywhere on earth or even on other planets out in space or between planets.
Most people learn to generate compassion by using Mantras or initiations but usually both.
My first Tibetan Buddhist Initiation was in 1980 in Ashland Oregon above what is called now "The Green Leaf Restaurant" where a son of my best friend used to be the head cook there. He is now a CPA living in that area still.
The Tibetan Buddhist Initiation I received first from Gyaltrul Rinpoche there was "The Sword which pierces all Defilement" also known as the "Thousand Buddhas Empowerment".
I had been having a time trying to get to "Non-dualism" which is something that is a part of Tibetan Buddhism and Buddhism in General.
The best way a western mind can encompass this would be to say I believe:
Descartes philosophic premise which is also my life experience as a human physical being here on earth which is:
"There is nothing so good that no bad can come of it and nothing so bad that no good may come of it."
This truism helps me a lot in my life and basically takes me to:
"There are no problems only opportunities" which saved my life in 1994 and 1995 by taking this to heart.
My best friend from childhood in Church who was a teacher and had a Master's degree in Psychology gave me this truism and when I took this to heart in a deep way I saved my own life as well as my children's lives then too. And then I had another daughter and this saved her life too as well as all my children who are now 30 to 52 years old (my biological children) because I have step children as well 53 and 55 years old too.
However, my teacher friend died in 2006 from a heart attack at age 62 years old and my high school best friend died in 2011 too. So, I have one good friend left from climbing mountains like Mt. Shasta still from 1969 on. But, only my 83 year old Cousin is still alive who is like a brother to me who was also raised in Los Angeles County mostly like me too who now lives in Orange county at this point.
The point is Generating Compassion is sort of like being an electrical generator of power. This is a good way to think about it.
So, as you generate compassion from your prayers and visualizations and mantras your aura changes a lot and you become a healing generator of compassion upon all life everywhere.
Then your aura grows and grows until your compassion encompasses first the Earth and then the Galaxy and then the whole universe.
This all really happens if you stay with your practices and prayers and mantras and you start to raise up everyone you meet or see for miles around you as you go through life.
This is what can really happen over time as you become a Generator of Compassion for all life in the Universe.
By God's Grace
