The holiday season is a time to reflect on positive feelings such as gratitude and joy, and there is no better way to lift the heart than meditating on the precious mind of compassion. Compassion, the mind that wishes everyone to be free from inner and outer suffering, is the most valuable inner resource and an inexhaustible source of joy in this life and future lives. Compassion gives us tremendous energy to help others and creates a deep inner peace that cannot be disturbed by changing external conditions.

On Christmas Eve, join this special evening of teaching and guided meditation on compassion with Gen Rinzin. Luxuriate in blessings, become hopeful and inspired, and light a candle at home for a peaceful and happy year.
