Compassion in Action
A Benefit Evening for Insight World Aid
Wednesday, February 29th, 7:00-8:30 p.m. Insight Meditation Center With Gil Fronsdal, Jeff Hardin and Nancy Smee Being able to translate our compassion into action that helps others is one of the greatest fortunes. When such action helps free us from our clinging, it is a wonderful way of maturing along a path of liberation. When it brings forth the good in others and ourselves, it is a source of joy. When it connects us to people we normally don’t meet, it knits our world into a closer human family. In this evening, Gil Fronsdal, Jeff Hardin and Nancy Smee will discuss their experience with compassion in action and how it comes out of their Buddhist practice. They will also describe their vision and plans for Insight World Aid, a new non-profit that is a vehicle for expressing wisdom and compassion in the service of individuals and communities in need throughout the world. The evening is offered as a benefit for Insight World Aid. Donations will be used to help poor communities in Cambodia.
