Compassion (Karuna)

Compassion is often experienced as a quivering of the heart when confronted with suffering, accompanied by the urge to alleviate it. It is a warm, accepting and even loving quality of heart and mind that is distinct from pity. While pity can cause us to suffer, compassion enables us to be fully present for the suffering of others without becoming overwhelmed by it or losing ourselves in it.
Nature as a Support for Practice

In his teachings, the Buddha urged his followers to practice in nature. Indeed, nature can serve as a valuable ally in our spiritual practice, offering a profound source of support. Immersing ourselves in nature’s tranquil surroundings can have a calming effect on our minds and bodies, helping us to unwind and release the stresses of daily life.
