Training Compassion

Compassion is the warm-hearted concern that unfolds when we witness the suffering of others and feel motivated to relieve it. Research suggests that compassion is innate and that any of us can strengthen this capacity through deliberate practice, with benefits for self, for others, and for society. In this ground-breaking guide, Professor Lobsang Tenzin Negi offers a comprehensive method for training compassion. With over 25 years of monastic training and a doctorate from Emory University, Negi draws from the ancient Indo-Tibetan Buddhist teachings of lojong and combines them with insights from emotion science to create this multi-layered and practical approach. This guide is designed to accompany a CBCT course. CBCT, a program developed at Emory University, is appropriate for people of any or of no faith tradition who wish to strengthen their resilience and compassion. All CBCT courses are led by certified CBCT teachers. Learn more at compassionu.app.
