CCT, developed at Stanford University by a team led by Geshe Tupten Jinpa, Tibetan scholar and principal translator of the Dalai Lama, using insights and techniques from psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative practice. The course integrates evidence-based meditation techniques, interactive discussions, and lectures as well as real-world exercises to put learning into practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Compassion is a basic sense of caring, sensitivity and openness to one&#8217;s own and others&#8217; suffering and the sincere intention to try to alleviate it. When compassion arises in our heart, our mind is freed from negative judgments and obsessive preoccupation with self, constituting a natural source of inner and outer peace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Training in the cultivation of compassion allows us to be aware that in everything we do we are connected to others. Learning that we are all one, we are all in the same boat, and more so in moments of vulnerability and fragility when we need each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cultivating compassion goes beyond feeling more empathy and concern for others. Cultivating compassion brings forth the strength to be with suffering, the courage to act with compassion, and the resilience to prevent &#8220;compassion fatigue.&#8221; These qualities in turn facilitate and support a range of positive changes, from improving interpersonal relationships to making a positive difference in the world.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module accordion -->\n<div  class=\"module module-accordion tb_rvsq203 \" data-behavior=\"toggle\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    \n    <ul class=\"ui module-accordion   tb_default_color\">\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-rvsq203-0\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-rvsq203-0\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">BENEFITS<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-rvsq203-0\" data-id=\"acc-rvsq203-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                                    <div class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n                        <p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Improve your personal relationships and have greater empathy and compassion for others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Support health, happiness and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Become more resilient in the face of suffering<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Reduce stress, depression and anxiety<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Make a positive difference in the world<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Learn not to judge and criticize ourselves.<\/span><\/p>                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion --><!-- module accordion -->\n<div  class=\"module module-accordion tb_goua625 \" data-behavior=\"toggle\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    \n    <ul class=\"ui module-accordion   tb_default_color\">\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-goua625-0\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-goua625-0\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">COURSE STRUCTURE<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-goua625-0\" data-id=\"acc-goua625-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                                    <div class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n                        <p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; <b>8 live online classes<\/b>: weekly 2-hour meetings that include guided meditations, talks, group conversations about the practices and the theory and science behind them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; <b>Meditations<\/b>: daily meditation of 30 minutes per day, which vary from week to week (8 different meditations).

CCT, developed at Stanford University by a team led by Geshe Tupten Jinpa, Tibetan scholar and principal translator of the Dalai Lama, using insights and techniques from psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative practice. The course integrates evidence-based meditation techniques, interactive discussions, and lectures as well as real-world exercises to put learning into practice.<\/p> <p>Compassion is a basic sense of caring, sensitivity and openness to one's own and others' suffering and the sincere intention to try to alleviate it. When compassion arises in our heart, our mind is freed from negative judgments and obsessive preoccupation with self, constituting a natural source of inner and outer peace.<\/p> <p>Training in the cultivation of compassion allows us to be aware that in everything we do we are connected to others. Learning that we are all one, we are all in the same boat, and more so in moments of vulnerability and fragility when we need each other.<\/p> <p>Cultivating compassion goes beyond feeling more empathy and concern for others. Cultivating compassion brings forth the strength to be with suffering, the courage to act with compassion, and the resilience to prevent \"compassion fatigue.\" These qualities in turn facilitate and support a range of positive changes, from improving interpersonal relationships to making a positive difference in the world.<\/p>\n<ul><li><h4>BENEFITS<\/h4><p>- Improve your personal relationships and have greater empathy and compassion for others.<\/p> <p>- Support health, happiness and well-being.<\/p> <p>- Become more resilient in the face of suffering<\/p> <p>- Reduce stress, depression and anxiety<\/p> <p>- Make a positive difference in the world<\/p> <p>- Learn not to judge and criticize ourselves.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n<ul><li><h4>COURSE STRUCTURE<\/h4><p>- <b>8 live online classes<\/b>: weekly 2-hour meetings that include guided meditations, talks, group conversations about the practices and the theory and science behind them.<\/p> <p>- <b>Meditations<\/b>: daily meditation of 30 minutes per day, which vary from week to week (8 different meditations). We begin with a foundation of Mindfulness and then gradually introduce meditations for the cultivation of self-compassion, empathy and compassion towards others.<\/p> <p>- <b>Relational exercises<\/b>: according to the theme of each class. Each exercise is both a means to train empathy, deep listening and conscious speaking.<\/p> <p>- <b>Informal practices<\/b>: Concrete practices to apply the contents of the course in daily life.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n<ul><li><h4>THE 8 WEEK COURSE<\/h4><p><b><i>Week 1: Settling and focusing the mind<\/i><\/b>. We learn to settle and focus the mind, a basic and necessary skill for any kind of contemplative exercise.<\/p> <p><b><i>Week 2: Love and compassion for a loved one.<\/i><\/b> Become aware of our natural capacity to feel empathy, love and compassion.<\/p> <p><b><i>Week 3: Self-compassion.<\/i><\/b> Cultivating compassion for oneself.

This practice is known as \"Tonglen or \"giving and receiving\" in which one imagines alleviating the pain and distress of others and offering them one's own peace and happiness.<\/p> <p><b><i>Week 8: Integrated compassion practice.<\/i><\/b> A combination of the above steps that can be adopted as a daily practice after the end of the course.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n<ul><li><h4>WHO IS IT FOR?<\/h4><p>The CCT program is designed for anyone who wishes to cultivate compassion for themselves and others, including parents, caregivers, educators, health professionals and technicians, therapists, public servants or people who work with people.<\/p> <p>This program does not require previous experience in meditation.

We train attention as an ability to observe cognitive and emotional processes so as not to be carried away by them unconsciously.<\/p> <p>Meditation is about creating a space, a breath, a pause before we get carried away by our thoughts, habits, and emotions that are the basis of our discomfort, stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction.
