Kirsten Rudestam - Our Compassionate Heart
As we deepen our own understanding and experience of life we become more sensitive to the suffering in the world. Compassion (karuna) is often described in the Buddhist teachings as a “quivering of the open heart” that responds to such suffering and illuminates our shared vulnerability.
This talk explores the generosity, aliveness and kinship that are born of the compassionate heart, and the healing such gifts for our times."
