I would say absolutely that meditation makes you more empathic. That is my empirical experience anyway,
Lots of times, I find myself talking to my wife and she has my undivided attention, only mindfulness practice can train the attention to be this focussed. When you pay attention, you notice more and surely this is what empathy is all about?
