Compassion (Com*pas"sion) (?), n.
[F., fr. L. compassio, fr. compati to have compassion; com- + pati to bear, suffer. See Patient.]

Synonyms -- Sympathy; commiseration; fellow-feeling; mercy; condolence.

Compassion means different things to different people. At ZenSutra it is one of the key values that encompass our vision. To us it simply means acting on our instincts and employing our endeavors to help those who need our help.

The entire team at ZenSutra has a compassionate outlook however some of our team members have taken it upon themselves to continually find new challenges that need commitment and then motivate others to join in the efforts necessary to solve these problems. They include Sheetal, Nazneen, Ramesh and Ashok.

Compassion Initiatives

"In the alchemy of man's soul almost all noble attributes- courage, honor, love, hope, faith, duty, loyalty, and so on- can be transmuted into ruthlessness. Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. Compassion is the antitoxin of the
soul: where there is compassion, even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless".
- Eric Hoffer

Some of the projects that our team in engaged in are:
