Bob Thurman marries Buddhism and technology on this short but very moving talk at TED.
Key quote: "The key to compassion is fun."
I so badly needed this reminder.

Thanks for sharing this perspective of Bob Thurman with us here @zaadz - SO appropriately sponsored by BMW - particularly in the context of a conscious capitalist approach to ..changing the world.
The key to compassion IS fun & BONO's TED talk of 2006 IS equally testament to THAT particularly in the context of Martin's Penny-ON One Love initiative.
When each of these three elements of vision–concern for excellence, for people and for the wider environment–are present, business is transformed from a tool for making profits into a creative, humane experiment for improving life.

ABSOLUTE compassion, however, can only BE manifest in the ONE who does “what needs to BE DONE with humility” - as a servant to HOMO SAPIENS who would “deem” to tell the ONE “What to DO”
I adore this clip of Bob Thurman, thanks so much C4. Going to spread it around!
