Training in Lovingkindness & Compassion The reality of life is interdependence, and lovingkindness and compassion spring from that knowledge. We say that lovingkindness and compassion grow out of inside, and out of training. It isn’t a grim training, forcing ourselves to feel something we don’t, or pretending we’re in a certain space when we’re not. It’s a training in opening our attention: seeing the good in ourselves instead of only fixating on what we don’t like, listening more fully to one another, noticing those we might usually ignore, looking at how we create the “other”, stepping away from the tendency to categorize and seeing one another in new ways. j.mp/RealHappinessWeekFour
