When we think of courage, we usually think of strength and fearlessness in confronting danger and pain. What if courage is actually keeping an open heart at the times when we feel like we should be closing it? In this series we will be looking at Buddha’s teachings on compassion, and how to develop the courage to keep an open compassionate heart.
