Why I support the Compassion Coalition
I hope to bring more awareness to the transformative power of Buddhist principles, including compassion, loving-kindness, sympathetic joy, and equanimity -- with a particular focus on how these principles can help us be less stressed, happier, and wiser when it comes to money -- ultimately building a more environmentally sustainable, and socially just world.
