Zen Bites #5 The Compassionate Heart

Therapeutic Mindfulness now includes specific practices around compassion. Jamie and Martin discuss the importance of this 'Divine Abode' as it is called in Buddhism as being intrinsic to the awakened heart.

In this episode Jamie and Martin discuss the emergence of the compassionate heart in Buddhist training, uncovering what is intrinsic to every sentient being and fundamental to the/our Buddhanature. Discussion also covers the recent adoption of compassion training in western psychotherapy.
