"A seven-part practical mindfulness practice on the health benefits of Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT), rooted in Western science and Buddhist mindfulness, from the creator of the program developed at the Dalai Lama's Compassion Center at Emory University. Former Tibetan Buddhist monk and current Emory professor and scholar, Lobsang Tenzin Negi, was tasked by the Dalai Lama himself to find new ways of sharing ancient Tibetan wisdom to create a more compassionate, peaceful, and happier modern world. Lobsang turned that mission into a research project resulting in a program rooted in neuroscience known as CBCT (Cognitively Based Compassion Training), developed in the Dalai Lama's Compassion Center at Emory Universi...ty, presenting a revolutionary marriage between Western science and Eastern thought that is practical for all. ENGAGED COMPASSION takes readers through mindfulness practices and cognitive techniques to help individuals understand the nature of thoughts and emotions, recognize their own patterns, and develop a more compassionate response to challenging situations. The training encourages individuals to extend compassion to themselves, their loved ones, and even those they may find difficult to relate to. These tools will help anyone realize the healing power of compassion, providing the antidote to isolation, unrest, and personal suffering that is needed for humanity to survive andflourish"-- more
