The Power of Compassion
After the Buddha's enlightenment, the motive force was the force of compassion. But because there was no ignorance left, all of those actions became comically functional. The Buddhist actions after his enlightenment were not wholesome karma. It wasn't unwholesome, it was just functional. And so just the motivation becomes exceedingly pure at that time. No one who owns the compassion doesn't belong to anybody. Compassion and love and all the skillful factors are where our practice is leading.
