The Charter for Compassion

Source: Greater Good Science Center

Founder Karen Armstrong made a wish in 2008 to restore compassionate thinking and compassionate action to the center of “religious, moral, and political life.” The result is the Charter for Compassion, a document that transcends differences (it has been translated into over 30 languages) and activates the Golden Rule.
