- Recognizes the causal relationship between mindfulness and compassion
- Teaches us that how we feel and respond to situations is up to us
- Maintains that cultivating compassion is a process that comes with daily practice
“The development of love and compassion is a wide, round curve that can be negotiated only slowly. Not a sharp corner that can be turned all at once. It comes with daily practice.”
