Testimonial
I
want to say
how much I
appreciated
the class last
night. It gave
me a much
deeper
understanding
of what
'compassionate
consciousness'
is all about,
and a clearer
sense of the
profound
implications
of NVC
concepts.
Your
own thinking
and clarifying
of some of the
NVC concepts
really
resonated with
me - it is so
wonderful that
you have put
the time and
thought into
making those
concepts more
accessible and
useful.

*The word
nonviolence is the closest
literal translation that
Gandhi found to the Sanskrit
word ahimsa.
In Sanskrit,
negation is sometimes used
to suggest that a concept or
quality is too great to be
named directly.
"Ahimsa is unconditional
love," writes Eknath
Easwaran, in his preface to
Gandhi the Man. "The word we
translate as 'nonviolence'
is . . . central in Buddhism
as well: Ahimsa, the
complete absence of
violence in word and even
thought as well as action.
This sounds negative, just
as 'nonviolence' sounds
passive. But like the
English word 'flawless,'
ahimsa denotes perfection."
--- from Miki Kashtan's
article:"NVC: Gandhian
Principles for Everyday
Living ".
