In this second episode of season 2 "Educating for Empathy," Prof. Geshe Lobsang Tenzin, Executive Director of Emory's Compassion Center, discusses how meditation is not just a relaxation technique, but is best understood as a form of education. Prof. Negi has overseen the development of all of the major programs offered at the Compassion Center. He tells the story of how Cognitively-Based Compassion Training -- the most scientifically researched compassion meditation protocol -- got its start from the suggestion of an Emory undergraduate, Molly Harrington, who worked to destigmatize mental illness on campus. And he discusses how he has seen SEE Learning, Emory's free social emotional learning program -- now implemented in some form in 77 countries -- greeted as a "dream come true" around the world. Prof. Negi discusses the upcoming launch of the Compassion Shift, an effort to scale these two programs in an integrated way to help bring about the Dalai Lama's vision of a global culture of compassion, as well as the role science education for monastic scholars can play in furthering the field of "contemplative science."
