Dear Compassionate Friend,
As we approach the end of 2023, we reflect on the collective challenges our world faces — a world marked by division, fear, and despair. Yet, in the face of adversity, hope prevails, and compassion emerges as a guiding light. The Charter for Compassion, a beacon for positive change, stands at the forefront of a global movement.
Our mission is clear: To co-create transformation at all levels by connecting, cultivating, and encouraging networks of people in whose daily lives compassionate action thrives. In a world where hatred and anger seem to prevail, the Charter envisions a society grounded in the principle of GoldenRuleism: Do for all others, both directly and indirectly, what you would want done for you. Don’t do to any others, either directly or indirectly, what you wouldn’t want done to you.
Why Compassion? Compassion is not soft, nor just a concept; it's a catalyst for change. The Charter believes and supports learning through action, and our call to action is resonant — identify problems, co-create solutions, and act. By gathering compassionately, we empower each other to envision a world where peace, respect, love, and harmony become the norm.
Our Symbol: Infinity The Charter uses the symbol of Infinity to represent our belief in the limitless potential of compassion. It is our conviction that compassion can transform human relationships, institutions, and communities — a boundless force for positive change.
Our Call to Action The Charter invites you to delve deeper into the consciousness of partnership, healing yourself, healing each other, and healing the world. Join us on a transformative journey that begins with you.
