Amma highlights value of compassion at Stanford University session
“For me, compassion is the most important factor in our lives,” said Amma (as Mata Amritanandamayi is known globally) in the 90-minute dialogue that took place in Stanford’s packed 1,700-seat Memorial Hall as part of CCARE’s ongoing “Conversations on Compassions” series.
“It is the first step. If we take this first step courageously, without fear, then all of our decisions and subsequent actions and their results will have a special beauty, spontaneity and power.”
