"Intro to compassion" - Saturday May 20th
Join us for a discussion on compassion: What it is, what it is not and how do we utilise compassion in everyday life
Generally when we think of compassion, we think of a spontaneous feeling of sympathy or empathy and perhaps even a sense of pity for others, but it is not as simplistic as that--from a Buddhist perspective compassion covers all aspects of positive emotions, which is why compassion is also seen as a transformative emotion rather than seeing compassion as only sharing in the pain and unhappiness of others.
10am - 12pm, $27 waged, $15 students -- registration essential

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
