Our empathy for others is the key to learning to cherish them. Remembering how others wish to be free from suffering and problems in the same way that we do we will naturally think their happiness and freedom is important just as we presently believe our happiness and freedom to be important. This is an extract from a teaching given by Gen-la Jampa at IKRC Grand Canyon. It is based on the Meditations for a Kind Heart series of guided meditations available from Tharpa.com
