Compassion is the word of honour this week
For those of you who aren't already aware, I am spending a week up North with my father and his wife Jean to help them out in what we could call those "challenging" times for them.
Funny enough, while sitting back and relaxing on the bus taking me to my weeks' destination, I came across an article about how scientists and researchers are thoroughly studying how to bring out the best of sentient beings. Those studies are taking place at the Center for Compassion and Altruist Research and Education at Stanford University (CCARE) and are conducted by scientists coming from all fields : phsychologists, neuroscientists, physicians and religious scholars. The objective of CCARE is to find answers as to where altruist resides, both through brain and behaviour studies of people from various paths of life, out of which you will find of course meditation practitioners. If results are indeed found, how can we extrapolate and create training to make us more compassionate. I found this article very interesting simply because it exposes a global issue (in those time of profound violence) from the bright side of things, instead of the opposite.
