"As Westerners we have exposure to many spiritual traditions, philosophical perspectives, and methods that can help us cultivate compassion and wisdom. Each person needs to find their own path and integrate whatever teachings or traditions are useful for them, religious and secular. Buddhist teachings provide me with a structure for inquiry and practice, with the aspiration that compassion will arise more spontaneously, and more often." |
