Immeasurable compassion in these troubled times, with senior teach Pia Artigas
How can we develop a compassion in these troubled times that does not exclude anyone?
When we see that some people cause so much suffering in the world, when we tend to perceive things as good or bad, right or wrong, black and white, how can we open our heart to compassion without being limited by these concepts?
The practice of immeasurable compassion is certainly a challenge for us as practitioners in these times, but also provides us with a great opportunity to be able to open our hearts even in the most difficult circumstances.
