Compassionate Listening

Compassionate Listening Relieves Suffering

If you can sit down quietly and listen compassionately to a person for one hour, you can relieve a lot of his suffering.

Listen with only one purpose: to allow the other person to express himself and find relief from his suffering.

Anger, Thich Nhat Hanh, 2001.
