Are We Born with Compassion?

Are We Born with Compassion?

Author: Yeshe Rabgye April 22, 2022 Duration: 11:02
It is my understanding that we are born with compassion as part of our survival instincts, which means compassion is essential to human relationships and to help humanity. The problem is these days we spend an awful lot of our day in the fight or flight mode, and this blocks our compassion. This is because we are stressed and under pressure for large parts of the day and the brain sees this as a threat. It is difficult for us to be compassionate if our brains are focused on survival. Though compassion is innate it does not always come easily. Here are seven ways to help build your compassion.

Yeshe Rabgye, a Buddhist monk from England, hosts the Buddhism Guide podcast, offering a grounded and accessible entry point into Buddhist thought. His approach is distinctly pragmatic and secular, stripping away cultural ornamentation to focus on the practical utility of these ancient principles for modern life. In each episode, Yeshe translates complicated philosophies into clear, relatable language, demystifying concepts around meditation, mindfulness, and mental well-being. What defines this podcast is its tone of invitation rather than instruction. Yeshe doesn't ask for blind acceptance; instead, he encourages a personal and curious examination of one's own mind and daily experiences. This stems from his work teaching across the globe, where he offers these insights freely to all. Listening feels like a direct conversation, unpretentious and focused on real-world application. Whether exploring the nuances of awareness or discussing the mechanics of suffering and contentment, the Buddhism Guide provides thoughtful companionship for anyone looking to cultivate a deeper sense of clarity and peace, regardless of their background or belief system.
