Compassion is built on rationale and is free of emotions. To be otherwise, it is delusion and therefore is wrong. The other seemingly says the complete opposite, Compassion often incurs misfortunes and convenience often leads to immorality . The reason behind this apparent contradiction is that if we ignore rationality and instead yield to emotion, compassion then often results in misfortune while doing favors for someone gives rise to immorality. Hence, this is followed by the Great Wisdom Brightness Cloud, the third of the ten great perfections.
Perfect wisdom gives rise to perfect compassion.
Wisdom is the method of convenience. Only by wisely utilizing various methods of wisdom and compassion, can we help sentient beings be enlightened and freed from sufferings. The Great Wisdom Sutra states, Prajna innocence, knowing everything . It is intuitive wisdom without knowing and yet knowing everything. In other words, one is essence and the other is function.
