In last night's meditation, the subject was the importance of balancing compassion with equanimity. I understand compassion to be kind of a sympathy for someone's Dukkha, and a wish for the end of that Dukkha. I understand equanimity to be a balanced and unexcited mind. But I don't understand the phrase "the importance of balancing compassion with equanimity." Please explain.
