Geshe Thupten Jinpa Langri, PhD J inpa brings together new research from Stanford and FRQWHPSODWLRQVIURPGHFDGHVDWWKH'DODL/DPD·VVLGHDV his principal translator to show us how to train not only our “compassion” muscle, but also our “self-compassion” muscle. Join us to gain practical skills for developing the courage to be compassionate, and discover how powerful compassion can be, not just for others, but for our own wellbeing. Jinpa is the author of the forthcoming book, A Fearless Heart: How the Courage to be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives . As the creator of the revolutionary Compassion Cultivation Training program at Stanford University School of Medicine, and the Director of the Mind and Life Institute, Jinpa draws upon his childhood as a refugee, his many years in Tibetan monasteries in India, and the time he has spent alongside His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
