Free | Online via Zoom

Part of the human experience is stress, struggle, and suffering. Compassion helps us with cultivating equanimity, feeling fulfillment, and experiencing happiness. 

Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) was developed at Stanford University by Dr. Thupten Jingpa, a Tibetan Buddhist scholar and principal English translator to the Dalai Lama.

Each CCT class may include accessible meditation practices, personal investigation, space for sharing, research studies, and/or homework to help integrate compassion habits into daily life.

This free information session offers an opportunity to meet with the instructor of this 8-week course, Tony Pham (Butterfly), a certified teacher of Compassion Cultivation Training©. The complimentary session will include a guided meditation, overview of the CCT program, and space to ask questions. 

You’re invited to nurture your innate compassionate nature. Research has shown that completing CCT can result in reduced anxiety alongside greater acceptance of the vicissitudes of daily life. 

Students that finish the training will receive a certificate of completion from CCT and Tibet House US. This non-credit course may qualify for reimbursement from your employer.
