Leverage your biology to support the healing of anxiety, isolation, deep sadness, and conflict with this research-tested program for actively practicing compassion and unlocking the emotional and physiological benefits, in the tradition of Buddha's Brain and Why Buddhism Is True. Many years ago, former Tibetan Buddhist monk and Emory professor, Dr. Lobsang Tenzin Negi was tasked by the Dalai Lama himself to find new ways of sharing ancient Tibetan wisdom with the modern world. Dr. Negi turned that mission into a research project to find scientific and biological evidence that compassion is an essential tool for building resilience. The result is an eight-step program known as CBCT (Cognitively-Based Compassion Training), developed in the Dalai Lama's Compassion Center at Emory University. The Power of Belonging presents a revolutionary marriage between Western science and Eastern thought. In CBCT, the eight meditative steps help us grow our essential skills for building resilience and finding peace: an abiding sense of safety; a clear and focused mind; self-awareness; loosening the grip of self-blame; finding opportunity in difficult times; learning to love without bias; discovering our warm and tenderhearted connection to others; and compassion. These tools are the antidote to isolation, unrest, and personal suffering. And for the Dalai Lama and Dr. Negi, the stakes could not be higher: By cultivating our capacity for compassion, we become able to participate in building a more just and equitable world.

The Power of Belonging

Compassion is the warm-hearted concern that unfolds when we witness the suffering of others and feel motivated to relieve it. Research suggests that compassion is innate and that any of us can strengthen this capacity through deliberate practice, with benefits for self, for others, and for society. In this ground-breaking guide, Professor Lobsang Tenzin Negi offers a comprehensive method for training compassion. With over 25 years of monastic training and a doctorate from Emory University, Negi draws from the ancient Indo-Tibetan Buddhist teachings of lojong and combines them with insights from emotion science to create this multi-layered and practical approach. This guide is designed to accompany a CBCT course. CBCT, a program developed at Emory University, is appropriate for people of any or of no faith tradition who wish to strengthen their resilience and compassion. All CBCT courses are led by certified CBCT teachers. Learn more at compassionu.app.
