Mind and Life Institute needs to include mindful crying in its research and programs.
Mind and Life Institute needs to include crying in its research and programs. Who listens?
I don’t understand how this event is structured. When I see Daniel Goleman’s presentation, is he just explaining what is available for Day 2 or is he leading a discussion? If the latter, how do I get there? Is there somewhere I can get an explanation of this event so I can receive the most from it?
Hi Janis, each evening there is a live overview of the day with the host, which you can view in a live Zoom call. He’s wasn’t leading a discussion tonight, just overviewing the day and what to look for. Then all the videos for the day are made available in the left column further up on this page. You can watch them in any order for 48 hours from their initial release. Tomorrow, at the live event time (same as tonight), you’ll see a link on that lefthand sidebar to the live call for Day 3, you should also get an email with the link. Hope that helps!
just use the link for the Summit Homepage which has links for every video. I found it very confusing too. Interview with Paul Ekman from yesterday was great.

I can not open the videos. So sad .. I am actually really interested in the topics.
I couldn’t open them right after the live introduction but later I could
This was wonderful. I enjoyed the lesson and his perspective on compassion training. I loved it and could listen to him all day. I will be looking into his program.
What a wonderful session and teaching from Thupten Jinpa! I have trained in CCT and have been missing the monthly alumni sessions since the pandemic began. This was a great way to bring awareness of the practice back into my daily life. With deep gratitude.
Beautiful session which many would benefit from.
This is the way I practice daily and it has brought much joy to my life.
It is great fortune that I have been with remarkable teachers and a lay sangha that reinforces my practice. 🙏🏼 Thank you for offering a clear picture of compassion 💖
Tremendously inspirational and helpful. Dr Thupten Jinpa presents a way forward to allow us to handle our issues and situations of daily life and make better lives for ourselves and all other beings.
Hello from Scotland and thank you.
Thank you from the depth of my heart for this timely summit while the world, my country, my community, my friends and myself are experiencing confusion, loss and suffering. The combination of the Tibetan Buddhist and Western psychology teachings are profound.

This was lovely. I felt a true tenderness and presence with the guide practice. Thank you Dr. Jinpa-la.
Listening to the definition of Compassion in both the Eastern and the Western worldviews, and following with an actual guided practice contributed to my understanding of Compassion more deeply. For me, learning about Compassion this way is holistic, joining the intellectual knowledge to the experiential exercise.
The simplicity and clarity of Dr. Thupten Jinpa’s presentation was outstanding.
With gratitude.
This is fantastic and eye opening
From my limited knowledge of Buddhism, what Jinpa has described is a pattern of practice of meditation that increases spaciousness in the mind and heart – in other words, opens us out of the boxes we usually inhabit mentally and emotionally. That spaciousness opens onto awareness, becomes a field in which we are allowed to move out of being stuck and into an even wider and deeper awareness of possibility. Or in other terms, of the birth of something new in us and the world. Without the consistent practice, though, this opening does not happen. That requires committing to repeating the practice.
Wonderful Jinpa! Thank you so much.
There is so much valuable information that I’m sure I will be listening to this again.
Working within traditional Education systems that seem so entrenched and reluctant to shift their focus to include Self- Care and Social Emotional education has been difficult, so your work on compassion and self care presented here is vital for the well being of us all.
Thupten Jinpa’s presentation on compassion training was lovely and very helpful.
Thank you.
I really loved to hear Thupten Jinpa and experienced his practice. Thank you so much
Tremendously grateful that Dr. Thupten Jinpa is a messenger from the GOD of our Consciousness. I have downloaded the book and look forward to deepening my meditative practice with myself and others. I am changed through the meditational experience to begin a new course of being.
This was a truly wonderful session. The guided exercise was a unique experience to me. Thank you

Just an enormous THANK YOU 🙏
The presentation of Thupten Jinpa, along with the practice on setting intentions, have really touched me. How wise kind, clear, humble and compassionate he is! And, of course, I’ve also enjoyed all the other presentations I have seen. Thank you very much for giving us this marvelous opportunity to learn from so many great scientists, spiritual leaders and human beings. I really feel blessed for it. Please receive a big hug, from Colombia.
Wonderful presentation and powerful meditation. I love the idea of setting an intention for the day and then showing up.
Thank you very much for this gift.
What a beautiful presentation filled with love, joy and compassion for the future. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Tem um conteúdo maravilhoso. 48h é pouco tempo para assistir todas as apresentações. Por favor, considerem deixar disponível por mais tempo. Obrigada
The notion that a compassionate attitude is a mindset/ way of life resonates with me very well. Developing such a mindset at an early stage of life gives us the opportunity to reap its benefits for the rest of life. We can expose children to various art forms – literature, paintings, music and so on – that depict compassion could be some proactive actions we can take. I see a compassionate mindset as the realisation of the relatively abstract concept of interconnectedness/ interdependence. In other words, it is an attitude of “just like me” for the other human beings. Such an attitude takes us away from the burden of comparing ourselves with other human beings in a world where each one of us is unique. This line of thinking takes us to practice the notions of self-compassion and acceptance that promote well-being.
Thupten Jinpa, 🙏🏻😌
Dr. Thupten Jinpa is an absolute delight to listen to. His very clear, practical and truly compassionate replies are very inspiring and simply urge me to follow his perspectives and advice. To form intentions for being compassionate is truly helpful on so many levels for ones and others life. Thank you!
Beautiful, tender and clear path to practice. Thanks a lot Jinnah!!! The best gift I received today.
Thank you all speakers.
Thank you very much for your kind talk, reminding us of the intention setting and the practise you offered. What I’ll keep in memory is the definition of compassion being a combination of empathy and doing. May you be always well, at ease and in peace, Namaste.
If one signs up and pays for the summit how long do they have access to the videos?
Thank you from Norfolk UK
Jenny, Oslo Norway. Thank you so much! Inspirational! On emotion, motiation and compassion.
Could intention come in the form of prayer for those who choose that way?
Thank you very much. I learn a lot about Intention Setting through Compassionate practice. I will definitely bring this practice in my daily life.
