3-13-11 Bodhisattva Sunday Sermon - Spiritual Practice and the Evening News #1

Venerable Thubten Chodron teaches how to use the events we hear about in the news to cultivate compassion. She explains that all of us are equal in that we all want happiness and want to be free of suffering, but have different ways of going about accomplishing those goals. Thus, instead of only having compassion for those on the side that we like or those experiencing pain at this very moment, we can have love and compassion for everyone equally.

This talk was given at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Spokane, WA during the 8:15 Sunday service.
