Compassion Cultivation Training

Compassion training is a solution that transforms lives.

Compassion isn’t heroic. It’s human and rooted in science.

CCT was developed in 2009 at Stanford University by Thupten Jinpa, Ph.D., its principal author, with contributions from Compassion Institute's founding faculty.
