Compassion is often seen as a distant, altruistic ideal cultivated by saints, or as an unrealistic response of the naively kind-hearted. But by seeing compassion in this way, we lose out on experiencing the transformative potential of one of our most neglected inner resources.
Clinical psychologist and Tibetan Buddhist practitioner Dr. Lorne Ladner rescues compassion from this marginalized view, showing how its practical application in our life can be a powerful force in achieving happiness. Ladner provides a clear explanation of what healthy compassion is and why it is so essential to our lives. Combining the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism and Western psychology, The Lost Art of Compassion presents clear, effective practices for cultivating compassion in daily living. Lorne Ladner, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Washington DC, and an adjunct faculty member in the counseling program at Argosy University. He began studying Buddhist meditation 15 years ago and is a longtime student of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Dr. Ladner is currently Center Director of the Guhyasamaja Buddhist Center in Northern Virginia, where he regularly teaches classes, runs workshops, and leads meditation retreats. "A helpful, kindhearted, articulate teaching of the way of compassion. Buddhism and Western psychology meet here wisely and beautifully." - Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
--Annie Dillard, author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Описание: In 1979, a previous Delta Council held a public hearing on the "Spetifore" lands and approved it unanimously for residential development. The Greater Vancouver Regional District rejected the application. Ten years later, my council held a similar public hearing on those same lands and, after an exhaustive and divisive hearing, defeated the proposal. Some thirty-seven years after the first public hearing with a new owner and following extensive community engagement, the development was approved. This sorry saga and conclusion was no consolation to the well-regarded Spetifore family, nor has it satisfied a large segment of South Delta residents. My wife happily stated that I was "unelected" after the 1990 municipal elections. After a decade on the municipal council, I continued with active volunteer service. Whether winning or losing, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the many people who offered their unqualified support during my seven election campaigns seeking a seat on the Delta Council. In 1992, I was appointed to the National Parole Board by the solicitor general of Canada. This challenging appointment reflected my RCMP service and community background. Weighing the risks to public safety and the inmate's right to freedom under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was a daunting task. I carried on with community service with some recognition, culminating with the Queen's Golden Jubilee service medal awarded in 2002. Along with others, I am pleased to have been involved in the preservation of three of Delta's important historical buildings. As alderman and chair of Delta's advisory heritage committee, I liaised with Rick Hankin, Regional Parks director, and Delta Council, and we were successful in the retention, movement, and restoration of the significant home of the pioneering Burr family, an elementary schoolhouse located on the Paterson estate in East Delta, and a barn from Ladner's historic Paterson Park. Burrvilla, dating back to 1904, and the 1909 Inverholm school are representative of Delta's early settlement history. All three buildings are located in Deas Island Regional Park in Delta and are popular tourist attractions. I have also had the pleasure and opportunity of working with some of Delta's finest volunteers, raising funds for needed community, social, and sport facilities in South Delta. Generations of volunteers have made Delta a special place called home.
