Mendicants, there are these three unskillful roots. What three? Greed, hate, and delusion. Greed is a root of the unskillful. . . . Hate is a root of the unskillful. . . . Delusion is a root of the unskillful. — Akusalamūlasutta Why is compassion of foremost importance in the Buddha’s teachings? Because it is the root of all the vastness and profundity of the bodhisattva path. Compassion is the awakened heart itself. — Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
