Sharon Salzberg. Compassion
27-28th April 2013
The Dalai Lama has stated, “My true religion is kindness.” Although sometimes described in our culture as simplistic, weak, or inherently overwhelming, the quality of compassion has a great power to transform our worldview from one of fear and isolation to one rooted in clarity, courage and connection. In this retreat, Sharon explored the strength and happiness of compassion through discourse, guided meditations and question and answer sessions.
