Coping With Other's Suffering - A Buddhist Approach

Compassion vs Despair. This is a recording of an online workshop with David Oromith, exploring the Buddhist concepts of compassion and its ‘near enemy,’ despair. During this workshop, we explore how we attend to the suffering of others and our world, avoiding overwhelm, despair and feeling burdened. Sharing his own experience of compassion and despair, inspired by the teachings of Lama Alan Wallace, H.H. The Dalai Lama, and others, David explores why we cultivate compassion for the sufferings of the world in the first place, and how to work with this crippling feeling of despair amid the suffering of our world.

I needed to hear this so much. I felt so much love, it was transformative. Going from empathy to compassion, I feel hope instead of despair. There was so much in this, I'll need to listen to it several more times of course. Thank you. 🙏 🕉🤍

This talk was very comforting to me, it met my spirit. Soothing and reassuring. Gracias.

Thank you so much for sharing this message with me. I’m feeling the feeling of grief and overwhelmed by it and I didn’t know what I didn’t know until this meditation made me aware of it. Excellent work by you David.
Namaste 🙏
