Buddhist practice is the grounding for this work, this life, this way.

Cease consuming, practice generosity.

Many of us think that compassion drains us, but I promise you it is something that truly enlivens us.

My test for veracity has always been: How this will settle with a person who is dying? Boundlessness seemed to me to open the door to the true nature of mind that is pointed to in the Heart Sutra.

Compassionate action emerges from the sense of openness, connectedness, and discernment you have created.

I've worked in the prison system, on death row and maximum security. I did that work for six years. I've worked with some of the most difficult people in our society. Buddhism was accessible and helpful for these individuals.

I am working on a technical paper on compassion. So I am reading everything I can on the subject, including my own mind and heart.
