Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT™) was developed at Stanford University in 2009 by Dr. Thupten Jinpa, long-time translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, along with other founding faculty members: Kelly McGonigal, Margaret Cullen, Erika Rosenberg, Leah Weiss, and Monica Hanson. This program is aimed at developing a compassionate heart and mind in order to rediscover one's natural resilience to cope with life's challenges. It is taught world-wide by certified instructors and offers insights and techniques from psychology, neuroscience and contemplative practice, using a protocol which has evolved over years. Our own Joji Arellano-Santos is a certified instructor of Compassion Cultivation Training. Each quarter, via zoom, she offers this 8-week course designed to develop the qualities of compassion, empathy and kindness for oneself and others. Part of the proceeds from her class benefits the Tashi Lhunpo Foundation. To find out more, please inquire joji@tashilhunpofoundation.org
