Starting the 1st of January 2025, the blog will pick a ‘word of the week’, to share & explore the significance of the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – compassion.
A Fearless Heart: How The Courage To Be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives. Thupten Jinpa introduces a practice with a great life changing power – compassion. Based on the revolutionary course in Compassion Cultivation Training at Stanford that Jinpa helped to create, A Fearless Heart shows that compassion is a path through suffering, a key to robust health & an effective way to reach our goals.
Yet, we may fear compassion. We may worry either about being too compassionate with others or practicing too much self-compassion. Pulling from the latest Western research & traditional Buddhist psychology, Jinpa offers simple daily practices that will help us humbly train our compassion muscle for greater meaning, connection, joy & fulfilment.
This post makes the topic so much clearer for me.
