Compassion: Listening to the Cries of the World

Christina Feldman has written an outstanding essay on compassion. She courageously and clearly explores her topic with confidence. Compassion is a multi-faceted experience, complex and richly textured, and Feldman has been able to illuminate it beautifully. I would call her understanding of compassion comprehensive and creative, including her meditations on the various aspects of the topic. If you only read one book in your life time on compassion, may it be this one. This book will change how you think, how you approach yourself, how you approach others, how you approach the world. A must read for anyone on a spiritual path.
