"About 180 attendees were able to hear profound teachings on how to generate and maintain a peaceful and happy mind through the development of compassion from our guest teacher, Gen Kelsang Shima.

"Throughout the talk, Gen Shima explained to us how compassion allows us to generate a warm heart and a sense of closeness towards all sentient beings. She also explained how it purifies our mind, allows us to perceive objects correctly, and helps us connect with other people's potential."
