2016-12-14 The Revolution of Tenderness - Part 1 1:15:33
Tara Brach
These two talks explore our capacity to be tender - sensitive and responsive to ourselves and others. This capacity marks a radical evolutionary shift from a self-centered existence shaped by fear, to a life lived from the realization of our collective belonging and the preciousness of all life.

We direct the mind to what is great – the very source of unsurpassed joy arising as we awaken to the blessed Dhamma.
