Mitra Tyler Dewar:
The Synergy of Insight and Compassion

Active exploration into the deeper nature of things and exposing the tenderness of our hearts go hand in hand. Rather than asking us to choose between taking a heartfelt approach or valuing intellectual curiosity, the teachings from Buddhism's philosophical tradition use analysis to grow our love further and compassion to deepen our insight into interdependence.
