Preventing Compassion Burnout

Venerable Thubten Semkye gives a short talk and leads a guided meditation on identifying the near enemy of compassion—the feeling of burnout that occurs when our self-centered thought hijacks our virtuous intentions. By learning to distinguish between personal distress and genuine compassion, we are better able to sustain a compassionate intention in a balanced, healthy way.
