What is mindfulness? Paying attention in a particular way: On purpose, In the present moment, and Non-judgmentally - Jon Kabat-Zinn
Why cultivate compassion? Despite our innate capacity for compassion, our busy lives can lead to its suppression, which may also lead to physical and psychological problems. Compassion helps us to notice suffering and empathize with it. We are thus motivated to act upon our empathy and work to alleviate the suffering we witness.
