Like so many of you, we see the
need for compassion to play a
more prominent role in our
personal and professional lives,
and in society altogether.
Recent scientific research has
confirmed that compassion
training, using simple
contemplative activities and
practices, can deepen and
broaden our ability to express,
and act upon, the compassion
that is inherent in all human
beings.</span><br

Just imagine how this can better
the life of, and life at, groups
of all kinds, as well as lives
of individuals! Image the
benefits with compassion not
just as more of a core value for
society, but with actual ways to
bring compassion into the daily
functions of all sectors of
society!<br>
