Compassion isn't the first word that comes to mind when we talk about the digital age, but it is as crucial as it has ever been.
The digital age has given us more ways to connect, but can leave us feeling isolated. Social media is a platform for communication, but can devolve into digital shouting.
In a time when our connection with the joys and sorrows of the world are highlighted no matter where we are, compassion is essential to guide the digital age towards a positive future.
Dungse Jampal Namgyel, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche's son and Dharma Heir, sees Buddhism as a practical set of skills that contributes greatly to our ability to live a full and compassionate life.
Join Dungse Jampal to explore how empathy and kindness can be enhanced by the unusual connectivity of our new age, rather than be overtaken by it.
