This is a personal workbook for young persons and students. (Helps anyone interested in compassion.)  It is a flipbook. You do not have to download. Exercises can be done in a notebook.  But you do have a pdf download option (on the flipbook toolbar. If you have any problem do write me a note. )

 

This is not a test. Take it as a learning encounter with compassion, to know more about what it is or it is not. In all its nuances. The workshop is to help you develop your own sense of what compassion might be.

​

Time and patience are needed to go through the workbook. Please avoid rushing through it. You can also do it over 2 or 3 sittings.

 

It is a preliminary exercise for you to make sense of the rich nuances of meanings or multi-vocality associated with the term 'compassion'. It will help anyone before getting deep into the whole 'learning ecology of compassion'. Do start by suspending all preconceived notions of compassion.

​

You will find two additional flipbooks for those who want to delve into a self-discovery journey of who you really are. Here is a link to an initiative by my students (UNFOLD NEST). We believe such a contemplative journey is critical to engage with compassion as emotion, as virtue, as private action and as public response.

​

Important:

Please do keep a diary or notebook with you...to take note, to write done new thoughts and questions...to help you in reflection and contemplation...and eventually to act.
