This year’s theme of the United Nations’ International Day of Peace is a “call
to action that recognizes our individual and collective responsibility to foster
peace.” To take action on behalf of others and our planet requires
compassion and a mindset of shared humanity and equality. Pema Chodron,
an American Tibetan nun, has said “Compassion becomes real when we
recognize our shared humanity.” Yet it is only when we are compassionate
toward ourselves that we can be present to act for others when the
opportunity arises.
Please join Sue Passante from the Chenrezig Tibetan Buddhist Center of
Philadelphia in affiliation with the Philadelphia Buddhist Association for a
discussion and meditation on developing self-compassion. We will explore a
few methods from accomplished spiritual and medical professionals on how
to simply turn compassion inward to deepen our motivation to relieve the
suffering of others.
