Dr. Russell Kolts 
Cultivating Compassion 
Jun 9, 2014 Co-author of Living with an Open Heart talks on cultivating compassion as part of the 2014 Young Adults Explore Buddhism program at Sravasti Abbey.
- How to be compassionate
- Misconceptions surrounding compassion that we have to be nice, soft, vulnerable and soft all the time
- Willingness to come into contact with our suffering
- We use anger not to feel other vulnerable feelings
- Anger fuels the sense of discontent and creates mental habits
- Breathing meditation as a training to notice threat emotions and cultivate safeness emotions
