Impermanence
On Oct 16th, 2016 I was asked to present at Victoria’s Church of Truth in James Bay. I was prepared to share Thich Nhat Hanh’s talk on Impermanence yet uncertain due to the amount of time I was given.
Prior to being asked up to speak local musicians where asked to play. The music selection was in alignment with this talk of Thich Nhat Hanh’s, so even though I would go longer than the amount of time I was given, I went for it.
Afterwards a young man came up to me and shared how meaningful this piece was to him. With emotions he explained what a difficult time he was having. The night before he prayed for guidance and how it came to him that he needed to attend this Church the next morning. He had come over to tell me he thought the reason was he needed to hear this piece. He asked for my copy so that he could re-read it.
I would like to share it with you, so here is a copy you can download – impermanence

Receiving the pain of humanity one conversation at a time!
Listening Spiral Inward
Last night I was asked about the emotion in my eyes in an empathy coaching session the previous day. I couldn’t remember the specific incident, however, I knew the depth of caring alive in me from witnessing the results of some very destructive communication and manipulative behaviour to get ones needs met at any cost.
It brought back a memory of being in an empathy healing session with Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, author and creator of Nonviolent Communication. As our session deepened I observed a pool of pain in his eyes that could only be a result of his pain for humanity. In Buddhist teaching this eye contact was much different. The reflection in Buddhist Rinpoches that I have experienced are compassionate without the depth of pain Marshall’s had.
Considering this, I am comparing that Marshall’s empathy program is unencumbered and simple. It takes one inward towards the root cause of the experience and to one’s integrity while the Buddhist practice and talks are based upon; learning mindful meditation, spiritual dogma, faith, devotion and a focus on examples using storytelling of the past to pass knowledge and discernment on. I have found with Marshall’s integration you can focus your attention and go to the center, while in Buddhism integration isn’t so direct. I believe all Rinpoches have compassion and I know their devotion to humanity is tremendous. Each day they give reverence to those who crossed their path that day before retiring.
From this above personal experience I believe empathy is intimate, vulnerable, connected to the immediate experience and identifies the individual needs while compassion is a fuller experience and not directly connected to the immediate needs. I experience empathy to lead to compassion.
