True compassion is a really radical skill that comes out of the wisdom that we get from turning towards our pain and seeing: okay, it's all impermanent.
Ever wondered how turning towards your pain could lead to profound compassion? In this episode of 'Against the Stream', Noah Levine dives deep into the concept of true compassion, explaining how it stems from understanding the impermanence of our struggles. Levine unpacks the Brahma Viharas—loving kindness, compassion, appreciation, and equanimity—and how these practices cultivate a genuine sense of empathy and kindness.
He also sheds light on the distinction between true and false compassion, stressing the importance of a purified, complete approach to empathy. By tuning into our mind, heart, breath, and body, Levine suggests we can better discern the different voices we hear and foster a deeper connection with ourselves and others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to enrich their understanding of compassion through Buddhist teachings.
