Approaching Buddhism: The Importance of Kindness and Compassion
In this episode, John Bruna, the spiritual director of the Way of Compassion Dharma Center, gives commentary and guidance for entering the Buddhist Path through the doors of kindness and compassion. He also speaks about the dynamic of creating a healthy sense of self while engaging in activities that don’t enhance self-importance. John describes how self-centered behavior is the root of suffering on the Mahayana path and how with our engagement of equanimity we can equally value ourselves and others.
