12/23/20 - Bowing to our Blessings Part 2: Caring Comes with a Cost
About this episode
This week we continue our exploration of generosity and gratitude by directing our attention to the shadow side of opening our hearts to others. This often-ignored topic is extremely important for a skillfully engaged Dharma. Whether you are caring for a family member, supporting a social cause or just lending a kind compassionate ear, using mindfulness to attune to the very process of generosity can decrease or prevent the very real conditions of compassion-stress and compassion-fatigue.
Gregory Maloof is a western Dharma teacher from the Ruth Denison lineage.
He follows the traditional Buddhist practice of not charging for teachings. If you have been receiving benefit and want to support Gregory Maloof as a teacher directly, please donate Dana here
