Why Awakening?

“Compassion dictates that we relieve suffering. Who among us isn’t moved by daily news stories and images of misery across the globe?

But most of us probably feel that there’s not much we can do about it.

If I see an image of a starving child, an oppressive regime, or a grieving mother—what am I to do?

There is something you can do. You can work to eliminate your own suffering.

In fact, it’s the only way.”
