Summary: We are often encouraged to develop greater compassion for ourselves while at the same time let go of our identification with an independently existing sense of self. These two paths can seem contradictory and are often treated as quite distinct (the path of the heart and the path of wisdom), but this talk explores how they constantly support and inform each other, and how both are necessary for a fully integrated awakening. This talk is also presented in video here: http://seattleinsight.org/Talks/BrowseTalks/DharmaTalk/tabid/90/TalkID/622/Default.aspx
