Medicine and Compassion with Dr. David Shlim

Medicine and Compassion: A one-day Seminar with Dr David Shlim, The co-author, with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, of Medicine and Compassion.

What is compassion? We think we know, but most of us have not really thought deeply about it. Where does it come from? Can it be prevented from diminishing over our lifetime? Or can it be expanded, stabilised, made more effortless and vast?

Anyone who has ever been called upon to help others when they are having a hard time may have wished they could do more. Those who do it for a living, or are caregivers, may sometimes feel their compassion is limited, even burning out.

At the core of Tibetan Buddhism is a heart of compassion. Whether your goal is to work towards enlightenment, or simply learn how to provide compassion with less effort, the goals are connected. Compassion and enlightenment arrive at the same place.

In an absolute sense, compassion is the awakened nature of the mind” Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
