A Guide to Cultivating Compassion @ Zen Habits

Published June 6, 2007 breathing , meditation , mindfulness , religion , yoga

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” - Dalai Lama

“My message is the practice of compassion, love and kindness. These things are very useful in our daily life, and also for the whole of human society these practices can be very important.” - Dalai Lama

I just ran across a great article at Zen Habits with some excellent reminders for how we can live more kind and compassionate lives. I don’t really think I could say it much better than the guide does so I highly recommend heading over there for a bit of reading and pondering.

Thanks Tracy! It’s sort of hit and miss with the blog lately (I’m studying for the bar exam), but just looking at that picture helps me feel better about life.
