Overview

In this book, Rosemary and Steve Weissman explore the meaning of a compassionate attitude. They argue that it encourages us not to cause harm or difficulty for ourselves or others. The more we develop compassion within, they suggest, the more we will cultivate the kind of mindfulness that will enable us more easily to understand life in all its aspects. This creates the causes and the conditions that produce more peace, contentment and happiness, not only for ourselves but for all those with whom we come into contact. With Compassionate Understanding is a collection of talks given by Steve and Rosemary Weissman during an intensive 10-day meditation retreat that can be used by people who wish to open their heart, develop their mind, and find a deep peace. The teachings are grounded in an understanding of the problems we all face and the vast potential we have to grow beyond our limitations.
