New Series: The Power of Compassion to Actualize our Human Potential
In this series, we will explore the profoundly empowering meditation on universal compassion. This is the perfect meditation with which to begin the new year. According to Buddha, compassion is our actual Buddha nature. Meditating on compassion enables us to recognize our extraordinary potential to not only experience lasting happiness and freedom ourselves, but to be of great benefit to others. And the more familiar we become with this beautiful heartfelt mind, the more empowered we are to make great spiritual progress. Some people are concerned that meditating on compassion might be depressing but actually the opposite is true. This meditation naturally gives us great joy, energy and purpose for our lives.
