Meditation Can Teach Your Brain to be Compassionate

"A team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has released the results of a study that shows that people are able to cultivate their compassion through meditation, a fact that could give an answer to people suffering from depression or the treatment of anger management.

The study, which was published on March 26 in the Public Library of Science One, showed that anybody can teach himself to be more empathetic to the mental states of others through meditation, training the self for compassion in a similar method as athletes learn how to be proficient in sports."
