Cultivating a Compassionate Heart: The Yoga Method of Chenrezig

Abstract

The problems that we face as human beings today demand a positive mental attitude and a sense of compassion for others. I firmly believe we can solve the majority of our problems by developing a sense of universal responsibility, which is to want to do something for others without a selfish motive, out of a feeling of compassion. Moreover, the Tibetan word for this has the connotation of being courageously determined — not only thinking about others and wanting to do something for them, but actually putting these good wishes into effect.
