"If you have compassion in your everyday life, you collect
extensive merit and purify much negative karma in a very
short time. Many lifetimes, many eons of negative karma
get purified. That helps you realize emptiness."

Mahayana
(Sanskrit)
Literally, Great Vehicle. It is one of the two general divisions of Buddhism. Mahayana practitioners' motivation for following the Dharma path is principally their intense wish for all mother sentient beings to be liberated from conditioned existence, or samsara, and to attain the full enlightenment of buddhahood.
