The Power of Compassion

Power of Compassion

“The extraordinary, upside down logic of Shambhala is that compassion is actually the natural activity of a mind that is settled. It is the activity stemming from being completely present, feeling and seeing other. It is the most natural activity because it is based on being present and accessing what is inherently our nature.”

In this episode of the Meditation In The City podcast, Laura Simms discusses the power of compassion, at a talk recorded live at our Weekly Dharma Gathering in New York City.
