'Empathy: what, why and how' by Shantigarbha
"Empathy is a compassionate understanding of another's experience. It's the basis of ethics and compassion. We develop it by expanding our 'natural' empathy through practise." A talk given by Shantigarbha at the Buddhafield Festival, in the Dharma Parlour on 15 July 2011.

Brilliant, found it very helpful (contributed to my needs for learning and connection). I especially enjoyed hearing how SG empathised with the suicide bomber - very skilful and re-assuring (contributed to my need for humanity and acceptance). Though I had a bit of a shock receiving a reply to an email I had just written to SG, while he was talking! "Huh?" I thought "how can he be replying": I had got so into it, I had forgotten it was a recording!
