Last year that we had a Third Friday gathering in which we watched
a video of Karen Armstrong talking about how the world's religions
all handle compassion and the golden rule. The video
and the message were very compelling, with a bit of comparative religion.
Ms Armstrong will be speaking in a free lecture at Stanford in mid October, and several of us will be going:
Training the Mind for Compassion:
How the World Religions Did It
