Compassionate Action Network will be hosting a special reading group to study Karen Armstrong’s Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life. The group will be held every third Wednesday of each month from 7 to 8:30 PM at East West Bookshop.
On November 16, we will discuss Step 11: Recognition
As part of an international effort to activate the Golden Rule globally, Compassionate Action Network joins reading groups around the world to foster a greater understanding of compassion, and to promote the cultivation and practice of compassion in individual and community life.
TED prize-winner Karen Armstrong believes that while compassion is intrinsic in all human beings, each of us needs to work diligently to cultivate and expand our capacity for compassion. In Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life, Armstrong offers concrete ways of putting compassion into action in our everyday lives.
Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life Reading Groups are affiliated with the Charter for Compassion. The Charter for Compassion is a TED Prize project in collaboration with the Fetzer Institute.

Comment by PamKM on December 21, 2011 at 12:34pm Thanks Reverend Cheen. I hope to attend tonight's meeting.
I wish I lived in Seattle so I could attend such events. I am, however, ordering the book, and have downloaded/saved the documents pertaining to leading a reading group. Anybody in the Katy (Houston) Texas area interested?

I planned to attend tonight but was unexpectedly stuck on an hour plus long phone call. I'll look forward to coming to one of your Reading Groups though. Thanks so much for hosting them!
Kind Regards,
