In the first of two afternoon sessions, His Holiness the Dalai Lama participates in a panel regarding compassion and the development of compassion. The panel includes many Stanford faculty members as well as discussions of programs like CCARE, which focuses on how people might be trained to be more compassionate.

These sessions and the morning ones that preceded it were part of the 2010 visit to Stanford by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His visit included this session as well as several other sessions where the Dalai Lama talked about compassion and religion in the modern world.
