The Telluride Institute and Stanford University School of Medicine’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education host a series of events to celebrate the 2013 Compassion Season. Events will include discussions about recent developments in the field of compassion and altruism research.
In 2009, at the request of His Holiness the 14th Dali Lama, CCARE partnered with institutes and universities around the world to research and develop a deeper scientific understanding of compassion, altruism and mindfulness. Because many of CCARE’s conferences and research findings have been private, it has partnered with organizations like the Telluride Institute to hold public forums.
