Out of compassion = wanting sentient beings to be free from suffering
Out of love = wanting sentient beings to be happy

Buddha`s teachings say that wanting sentient beings to be free from suffering and wishing them to be happy has nothing to do with emotion and attachment.
This is actually the difficult task.....to get rid of attachment.
Attachment is always ego-driven.

Dear Tamara , you said "Buddha`s teachings say that wanting sentient beings to be free from suffering and wishing them to be happy has nothing to do with emotion and attachment." Unquote
That is a knowledge to me , this is part of your referral to Buddhism ?
This is actually the difficult task.....to get rid of attachment.
Attachment is always ego-driven.
Perhaps if one creates an emotion or desire to do something or for anything , one attachment will increased and this will lead into longer journey of self realization ...so the more one have desire to get rid of emotion or attachment ...this will lead to longer journey and suffering or joy is the nature of this path .
