Using his own experience of compassion and despair, and inspired by the teachings of the Dalai Lama, he explores why we should cultivate compassion for the sufferings of the world in the first place, and how to avoid this crippling feeling of despair.

Helpful. 🙏

Wise helpful thoughts. Motivating. The difference between empathy and compassion explained in an easy way to understand. Thank you 🙏

My heart has been mended to learn how to transform the great sorrows in my heart and mind to action.

Thank you for sharing your journey and personal experience . There is a way to attend compassionately without constantly feeling burdened by a world of suffering. Action, however small, lightens the load. It also stops me feeling powerless and desperate which is a very uncomfortable place to be, which can soon lead me to depression and cut off. I'm also a litter picker . Tiny steps to action are great for me!

Thank you
