Compassionate Mind, Compassionate World: Transforming Suffering Through Compassionate Action
Women Faith Leaders Retreat
Dharma Drum Mountain Global Center For Buddhist Education
Taiwan, June 20-22, 2006
 This dialogue explored how compassion can become a global force for transforming the many kinds of suffering and divisions that exist in our world -- focusing on the collective, or communal, suffering.
Women from various religious communities came together to explore how compassion can be directed toward healing the wounds of conflict and poverty -- addressing the underlying causes of these ills: intolerance, injustice, environmental degradation, etc. There was be a special focus on ways to bring deep inner healing to the many young people who have been traumatized by conflict or natural disasters.
