These Are Our Basic Beliefs:

Even the smallest act of compassion can have a large and long lasting impact.

Every living being commonly struggles or suffers in some way.

We each make the decision whether to dwell on our own suffering or to shift our focus toward relieving the suffering of those around us.

Relieving the suffering of others generates positive attitudes and feelings, both in ourselves and others.

If enough people engage in the practice of compassion it has the potential to change the world.
