Compassion: Get Your Motivation Right [video]
The state of your heart affects everything.
The frequency of your heart reflects your motivation (which everyone can feel) and it determines what you receive back.
For this reason, before doing any Tantrayana Buddhist practice, we first take care of our heart.
We do this by practicing conventional compassion. We check our motivation and tune our heart.
This is what gives power to our practice. And ensures that it goes in the right direction.
