I get confused sometimes around the way you use sympathy, as in sympathy with people experiencing severe Dukkha. Would you be willing to explain the difference between sympathy and empathy from your understanding and teaching of compassionate understanding? I'm hopeful of getting a clear distinction of terms here, my need for clarity and deeper understanding.
