Compassion-focused therapy is an integrated psychotherapeutic approach designed to train individuals in cultivating inner safeness, developing a self-generated internal soothing system, and replacing shame and harsh self-criticism with qualities such as self-kindness, self-understanding, contentment, and gentle self-care.

Compassion-focused Therapy

Self-compassion entails being warm and understanding toward ourselves when we suffer, fail, or feel inadequate, rather than ignoring our pain or punishing ourselves with self-criticism. Self-compassion also requires taking a balanced approach to our negative emotions so that feelings are neither suppressed nor exaggerated. This equilibrated stance stems from the process of relating personal experiences to those of others who are also suffering, thus putting our own situation into a larger perspective. It also stems from the willingness to observe our negative thoughts and emotions with openness and clarity, so that they are held in mindful awareness rather than overidentifying with them.

Self-Compassion

An essential mood will appear after people reach purity because of spontaneity. It is seen as part of the Buddha nature that within all sentient beings. A tendency to benefit others, to reach happiness.

"The expression of the primordially pure essence, the unconstructed nature, is naturally compassionate. These two-emptiness and compassion-are indivisible. That is the vital point"

Key theories of human nature in the perspective of Tibetan Buddhism you need to know before studying and practicing Tibetan Dzogchen

Padmasambhava, Lingpa, C., Rinpoche, T. U., Rinpoche, O. T., & Kunsang, E. P. (2016). Origin: Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. In Dzogchen deity practice: Meeting your true nature (pp. 25–30). essay, Rangjung Yeshe Pubns.

Dzogchen Deity Practice: Meeting Your True Nature

To describe the state that all human can reach during Dzogchen. The state is described as enter a state of total emptiness. People understand and then deconstruct meaning for everything. For example, people deconstruct moral, and see there is no big or small, good or bad, pure or impure. They eliminate duality in things and just accept them as they are (suchness)

-It is part of the samadhi, a crucial mental developmental stage 

purity

This theory stats that in the state of purity, everything in our heart, including the Buddha/deity nature, pure wisdom within our self, will appear spontaenously

Primordial purity is absence and spontaneous presence is presence; they are indivisible by law. (primordial purity without spontaneity can be seen as nihilism)

spontaneity (lhundrub)

Compassion (thugs rje)

-In pure awareness, know as Kayas and wisdoms(related to your buddah nature), experience take place in a way that is visible yet insubstantial. This immaterial or nonphysical quality means that the experience is something you can see but not grasp, like a rainbow
(Kaya: Your metaphorical Buddha body )

-Within this  body, your realization is equal to that of sambhogakaya. All the inconceivable adornments and sceneries belonging to sambhogakaya are then as visible as rainbows in the sky. 
(sambhogakaya: body of divine enjoyment)
