Circle of Compassion: Studying and Applying the Charter for Compassion

In response to a polarized, turbulent world which so often stresses differences, the Charter for Compassion is bringing together voices from all cultures and spiritual/faith communities to remind the world that we all share the same core principle of compassion. The charter is the “wish” of Karen Armstrong, one of the most provocative, original thinkers on the role of religion in the modern world. Armstrong won the 2008 TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) award which granted her a "wish to change the world.” Her wish was to restore the Golden Rule as central to religious practice and daily life throughout the world. The principle of Golden Rule is embraced by every faith and by every moral code, religious or otherwise and suggests that we act toward others as we would want them to act toward us.

Join Charter for Compassion supporters in delving deeper into the meaning of the Charter. Read and discuss books by key authors of the Charter for Compassion, including Karen Armstrong and Joan Chittister. Support each participant’s most selfish and self-satisfying journey inward, which is to be kind to self and others! Share stories, means and possibilities in building a compassion movement!
