Mindful Compassion For Skillful Action

It can be all too easy, too tempting to turn away from the suffering of others—this is one way we protect ourselves from our own pain and discomfort. Or, we can go too far the other way, taking on the suffering of others and becoming overwhelmed by our own empathy.
Where is the skillful, middle way that allows us to acknowledge the suffering and meet it with compassion? Compassion, or moving toward suffering with kindness and care, is the necessary foundation for taking skillful action in response.

In this practice, we focus on cultivating compassion and commit to a meaningful action we can take today.
