Thank you Dr. Jinpa. Your discussion of compassion was insightful and helpful. I especially enjoyed your explanation of how compassion helps prevent/treat individuals with burnout. I agree that compassion is a method for shifting focus from the problem to the solution. I also appreciated your framing self-compassion as part of the broader concept of compassion as opposed to self-compassion being a separate, selfish phenomenon. Thank you for all of your work towards creating a society where each person can feel secure, purposeful, and recognized.
Thank you Thupten Jinpa 🌼
I absolutely agree compassion is the way forward for all of humaninity. That starts from within, self compassion. A very inspiring and warming talk.
🙏
Beautiful vision and call to action.
So important, thank you for this. Very helpful perspective.
Thank you. Stressing and clarifying the difference between empathy and compassion was a revelation for me that I sense will open me more fully to my work and support my resilience along the path.
I love Thupten Jinpa & was looking forward to his talk but couldn’t hear it very well. Very sad as he has such wisdom to share
I see how important microphones are! I had to turn on the closed captions, too. 🙂
Thank you for a beautiful talk on the power of compassion in bringing more resilience, humanity and joy into our lives. May the light in me honor the light in you.
I very much enjoyed this talk and also it was frustrating that I could not hear much of it as I found the sound volume was low and quality was not good. I hope in future that these valkuable seminars can be produced so we can understand everything said.
Such a deeply inspiring and meaningful presentation, embedded with insights about the necessity and power of social connection in the development of compassion for self and others. This is the nexus of the crucial feedback loop in the development of meaning and purpose; and of integration within the individual and within the group.
Thank you for your presentation.I found it inspired for helping medical Dr👨⚕️ And care givers to prevent burn-out. Also for children networking and feeling that they are not alone, at young age is very important to have social connections.. Also, breathing 😮💨 as a technique for Mindfulness 🧘♀️ is great.

Reminds me of the concept of “turning towards,” that we would turn towards compassion and find that the reserve of kindness is infinite.
Thank you. I found this deeply inspiring. It has enriched me with a sense of hope in relation to burnout and I feel called to action and commitment.
Just simply amazing to hear and see this human being.
I had no problem hearing you, not sure why others experienced problems. Thanks for your excellent presentation!
He speaks very quietly. 🙂 We’re not used to it! I had to turn on the captions.
Thank you for explaining power of compassion in such simple way..enriching and interesting. Grateful.
Always grateful for the wisdom of Doctor Jinpa, but the sound quality made it quite difficult to listen to this otherwise excellent presentation.
I found that too, so I hit the ‘closed caption’ /CC button and it really helped.
Nice and insightful talk, but the words could be barely understood during the meditation.
Wonderful….could soak it in.Thank you.
What a wise and wonderfully down to earth approach to compassion! Many thanks for you insight and suggestions for how to implement all for the betterment of the whole world.
His life story and presence here are absolutely inspiring. Thank you for your transcendent kindness.
The volume is way too low. Can barely hear it.
Agreed, I put on the CC to help me follow along : )
Profoundly moving and helpful on many levels,
With gratitude,

非常感謝 Jinpa 教授創辦慈悲學院,培訓治療師群.提升世界和平.
Thank you, Dr. Jinpa. Everyone should hear your talk, which is not just words and affects the feeling life. I have a new understanding and new hope that working with compassion toward myself, and asking for it from others who care about me, can help me in times of emotional exhaustion and stress. And I can do this for others. I agree all people of the world sorely needs compassion to heal from depression, anxiety, and stress.
I greatly appreciated your resoluteness and steadfastness even while leading the guided practice. That was a demonstration for me in how to mediate. I will, like you, remember to be kind whenever possible and that it is always possible. Thank you.
Thank you SO much for Prof. Jinpa for creating greater awareness about the universality of compassion and how valuable it is as a secular, accessible and warm quality that connects us and heals us all.
How wonderful to understand that compassion is so vast and that it is empathetic distress and de-personalization that fatigues us. We can leap into compassion and really be there as therapists and responsive humans.
Best wishes to you and the Compassion Institute!
