The Four Compassionate Activities
(also known as the four enlightened activities)
PACIFYING, ENRICHING, MAGNETISING AND DESTROYING EGO.
Pacifying: There are no problems. There is nothing for ego to fight against, which brings inner peace to ego.
Enriching: Brings the light of knowledge, clarifying ego’s manipulations.
Magnetising: Bypasses conventional reality, and so attracts naturally. Ego re-cognises.
Destroying: Compassion cuts through ego’s manipulations. Ego has nothing to hold onto.
These activities can be transmitted either in silence or verbally.
Ego is consciousness clinging to concepts. This is what we think we are when, in reality, we are the lord of compassion – pure consciousness. The application of the four compassionate activities is applied to both one’s self and the self of others.
