  Stanford psychologist Jeanne Tsai recently completed a CCARE-funded study on a compassion-training protocol developed by Jinpa, who is currently a visiting scholar at the school. Undergraduate students without extensive experience with meditation or Buddhism took a weekly, 2-hour course in which they first learned meditation basics such as posture and breathing techniques. Next, over the course of 6 to 8 weeks, a trainer instructed them to picture a loved one as vividly as possible and concentrate on the sense of concern they feel for this person's well-being. In later sessions, they envisioned people they knew less well or even disliked and gradually expanded this concern to them.
  
  Tsai randomly assigned 100 willing undergraduate students to receive the compassion training, training in mindfulness mediation, or classes in improvisational theater -- to control for the possibility that simply learning a new skill or engaging in a new social activity is enough to elicit acts of kindness. (Volunteers were told they'd be participating in a study to evaluate several classes thought to improve physical and mental health.) Online questionnaires probed for changes in things such as empathic concern and the tendency to take another person's perspective. Participants also kept a daily diary of "positive and negative events," which the researchers are now combing for evidence of an uptick in compassionate acts. At the end of the experiment, participants read a letter written by a prisoner seeking correspondents and were given an opportunity to write back and/or donate money to a program aimed at stopping abuse inside prisons. Tsai says her group is now analyzing the data to see whether people who got compassion training wrote or donated more than those who didn't.

  Some scientists took their own research in new directions partly as a result of these dialogues. (Participants from the Bay Area included UC Berkeley psychologist Eleanor Rosch, UC San Francisco psychologist Paul Ekman, psychologist Jeanne Tsai and professor of religion Lee Yearly of Stanford.)
