In this dharma talk from the Order of Pragmatic Buddhists, Curtis explores the relationship between compassion and wisdom, two qualities the Buddha identified as essential to awakening. Curtis argues that compassion without wisdom becomes overwhelming, and wisdom without compassion becomes hollow. The talk closes with reflections from sangha members Josh and Corey on what it means to practice compassion in real life.
