Daily Meditation: A Case For Compassion

Daily Meditation: A Case For Compassion
|

We all need help maintaining our personal spiritual practice. We hope that these daily meditations, prayers and mindful awareness exercises can be part of bringing spirituality alive in your life.

Today's meditation features a timeless Ted talk on compassion, interfaith dialogue and the Golden Rule by Karen Armstrong. Armstrong's 'Charter for Compassion' "is the principled determination to put ourselves in the shoes of the other, and lies at the heart of all religious and ethical systems."
