More DescriptionCompassion is the warm-hearted concern that unfolds when we witness the suffering of others and feel motivated to relieve it. Research suggests that compassion is innate and that any of us can strengthen this capacity through deliberate practice, with benefits for self, for others, and for society.In this ground-breaking guide, Professor Lobsang Tenzin Negi offers a comprehensive method for training compassion.

This guide is for anyone who wishes to strengthen their resilience and compassion.
