Except for the first feature, these are not listed in any order of occurence.  These features apply  to seeking radiant compassion for yourself and also sharing the radiant compassion space with others. 
Compassion:  Know your own understanding and practice of compassion toward yourself and toward all sentient life.  Understand the characteristics of radiant compassion.
Empty Self:  Let go of the desires, cravings, and agendas associated with the self.  Learn to be empty to the moment.
Meaning:  Every experience with radiant compassion is rich with meaning.  Take the time to process, to seek, and to share.
Calling:  Listen for the "signs" that indicate the time is right for radiant compassion to occur, and also listen for the "signs" that say "not now".
Unknowing:  Let go of the need to know and learn to be comfortable with sitting in a space of unknowing.
Responsibility:  Know your own responibility to the moment.
Suffering:  Learn to sit with suffering while breathing in a quiet peace.  Embrace forgiveness and patience.
Lightness:  Let go and enjoy, show gratitude, smile, and give praise often. 
Stillness:  Find that intensely quiet still place within and learn to sit there.
Razor's Edge:  Walk that thin sacred path throughout life.
