Why I support the Compassion Coalition

I support the GCC because I had heard Dr. Rick Hanson speak in several videotaped presentations and then took one of the comprehensive courses on compassion several years ago and was impressed by the important content and the exceptional faculty and continued to try to attend as many presentations as possible.
