Oct 9 Tip: Read "How Can I Help" by Ram Dass & Paul Gorman

Oct 9 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace

Read and embrace "How Can I Help" by spiritual master Ram Dass & Paul Gorman

http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/books/books.php?id=5160

This is a watershed work of ethical import for all those involved in the helping professions. Ram Dass and Paul Gorman have written a cogent work on caring that tells the stories of those who have served others and found their own lives enriched: a doctor, a minister, a drug counselor, a literacy tutor, a nun, and many others.

"Shall I become involved or not, and if so, how deeply? How much human pain to let in, and whose?" — these are questoins faced by all those who care. The authors describe the mental roadblocks (pity, abstraction, professional warmth) which stifle the "inherent generosity of the heart." They describe the different motivations for serving others and the necessary lineaments of "the listening mind."

Oct 8 Tip: Use Tibetan Maitri to Be Compassionate to Yourself

Oct 8 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace

Listen to Tibetan Buddhist Pema Chodron Explain How to Use "Maitri" to Become More Compassionate to Yourself

http://www.soundstrue.com/weeklywisdom/?source=podcast&p=6681&category=AGM&version=full

Nobody wants to be unhappy, yet so many of us find it difficult to feel a pervading sense of happiness in our lives. Is this because of life circumstances or factors beyond our control? According to Pema Chodron, the greatest obstacle to happiness—especially for those of us in the West—is something that we have the ability to transform. In this audio clip, she speaks about the all-important power of maitri, a Buddhist term meaning unconditional loving-kindness towards yourself.
