In this video, Jon Kabat-Zinn, the founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), explains why compassion and mindfulness go hand in hand.
Kabat-Zinn’s view is that we are inherently compassionate, that the spaciousness of compassion is pure awareness, and that mindfulness can help us open up to that compassion. The talk was put on by UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center.
