On the Immeasurable Benefits of Compassion: Why Growing your Compassionate Nature can Help with Everything

In Buddhist thinking, Compassion is regarded as one of the Four Immeasurables, or the four Brahmaviharas, which means it is expansive and boundless in nature – you never run out of it, nor ever tire from it. In this talk, Dr. Erika Rosenberg, a Founding Faculty at The Compassion Institute, and researcher at the Center for Mind and Brain, UC Davis, will expound on compassion’s limitless benefits – for you, for others, for everyone you interact with, for all beings, and for planet Earth. Her talk will come from the perspectives of Nyingma psychology, Buddhist meditation, and current scientific thinking.
