Larry,
The survey, like your post below, is voluntary; but the survey, unlike your
post, is anonymous.

I am a post-grad (clinical psychology) student researching the
relationship between a Buddhist concept of self-compassion and mood states.
Please help me by taking 8 minutes or so to fill in my survey.
Oh Bill it was a joke AND if I knew it was from you I would have gladly
filled it out. BUT what do they think we have that everyone else doesn't?
They just believe and act on their emotions and 'We just observe our
emotions (mostly) and try not to act on the destructive ones!

Whatever that may be thought to be, it is not compassion, nor does it
even sound particularly Buddhist.
Please don't mistake 'New Age' feel good/self love/self help BS for
Buddhism, despite the plethora
Merle,
Thinking caring thoughts IS NOT compassion. It doesn't help anyone. Compassion
is actually helping people or animals alleviate suffering in the REAL world.
You are just massaging your own ego to think otherwise

Hello Mayka,
Your message really disturbed me. I think the lack of compassion you found
in the meditation groups that you attended is terrible.
I have a good friend whose boyfriend calls himself a compassionate Buddhist
but when my friend's good friend died she sobbed for three hours and he
is going to be switch

Warm embrace

Hi Anthony :-)
I agree whole-heartedly :-) Nothing comes by birth. Sometimes through
circumstances things just go terribly, terribly wrong. And I don't mean that
lightly. People are hurt terribly in the process. This is reality, a very harsh
reality. Piling on more wrong and harshness does no

It is true that not much of the Chinese Chan had a chance to be introduced to
