Norman Fischer
Developing compassion requires us to learn to face pain rather than run from it. Gratitude practice helps us to see that we are connected to every thing- Good and bad. In the end we're grateful even for our pain, which turns out to be the gateway to a deeper love.

Norman Fischer
Suffering is pervasive-there's no escape. But we all suffer together in exactly the same way, so we are close to one another. Bodhisattvas know this means love and compassion are the most real emotions in our lives.

2015-01-24 When Love Meets Fear 1 47:17
David Richo
Our inalienable rights as humans extend not only to political liberty but likewise to freedom from fear and neediness. HH Dalai Lama Our accessibility to effective relating may be inhibited by fears, especially ones not based in reality. Relationships thrive best in an atmosphere of openness to one another. Our accessibility to love may be inhibited by fear and we are so often needlessly on the defensive. What are the origins and meanings of our fears of intimacy, of abandonment, of closeness? What makes us hold ourselves back or run from feelings? In this seminar we find ways to free ourselves from the grip of fear so that it no longer stops or drives our ways of being together. This daylong will provide techniques that show how to feel fear directly so we can then behave in ways that show we do not act on our fear nor let it interfere with our healthy goals. The result will be that we are no longer driven or stopped by fear, though we may still feel it. In this seminar, we combine lecture and practices that are both psychological and spiritual. Even a little progress is freedom from fear...Bhagavad Gita
