Very sorry but this study day for mitras has been cancelled

May I allay all the suf­fer­ing of every liv­ing being
Shantideva

Compassion is usu­ally seen as cent­ral to the Buddhist path. We talk about it all the time but what does it mean to act com­pas­sion­ately and how can we know if we are doing so? What does prac­tical com­pas­sion look like?

The world appears to place an infin­ite claim upon us, a claim that by defin­i­tion we can never sat­isfy. Given our finite resources, how do we determ­ine which claims we respond to and which we cannot?

This day explores this cent­ral Buddhist theme in a vari­ety of ways includ­ing med­it­a­tion, reflec­tion, dis­cus­sion, and ritual.

Wondering what a mitra is?
