Can compassion truly energize you - instead of burning you out? ๐
In this Charter for Compassion Global Read, we explore Engaged Compassion by Dr. Lobsang Tenzin Negi โ former Tibetan Buddhist monk, Emory University professor, and the pioneering creator of CBCTยฎ (Cognitively Based Compassion Training), developed at the invitation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
In a world where burnout and disconnection have reached epidemic levels, Engaged Compassion offers a revolutionary, evidence-based path to human flourishing โ one that doesn't ask you to protect yourself from the world, but to engage with it more skillfully, more deeply, and more sustainably.
Through 7 transformative steps rooted in both Buddhist contemplative wisdom and cutting-edge Western psychology, Dr. Negi shows us how genuine compassion, practiced with intention, becomes a source of resilience rather than exhaustion โ and a powerful force for meaningful change at both individual and societal levels.
๐ Facilitated by Gard Jameson, PhD โ philosopher, educator, and Charter for Compassion Board Trustee.
