Compassion and the true meaning of empathy

Hi both,
I recently viewed this TED video of Joan Halifax speaking about compassion and thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with you. Let me know what you think!

  2. Hi Kerry,

    Thanks so much for this; I've finally got round to watching and listening! I found it very inspiring! I woke early this morning and made a promise to myself that I would listen to it and I'm glad I did. I was thinking last night about looking into the lives of women as potential role models and I think Joan Halifax could be one of them!

    "... we cannot be attached to outcome" - need to listen again to that bit and absorb a bit more.

    Bye for now,
    Suzanne
