“When compassion and wisdom are both present in our lives, even to a small extent, there’s really a remarkable transformation, because they bring a creative power to the way we live, the way we act, the way we relate. When wisdom and compassion are both there, they help us go beyond the conventional response.” – Joseph Goldstein

In this episode, Joseph talks about:

  • How wisdom and compassion work together
  • What compassion is and the wisdom that gives rise to it
  • The four insights that can help us keep our hearts open in the midst of the great suffering in the world
  • How compassion grows and deepens within us
  • The different ways compassionate action manifests in the world
  • The Bodhisattva Vows and the act of dedicating one’s life and practice to the benefit of all beings
