This retreat will continue where we left off at the last retreat, to explore an in-depth understanding of Bodhichitta (Altruistic Awakening Mind) as expounded by the great Indian Buddhist Panditas such as Nagarjuna and Shantideva.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama has mentioned that if there is an “absolute” in Buddhism it is “compassion.” How does the Buddhist understanding of Compassion differ from our ordinary understanding of compassion? Why does the Buddhist tradition regard this virtue as indispensable?
This teaching will be based on “Vast as the Heavens, Deep as the Sea” a short work of the contemporary Indian Buddhist sage Khunu Rinpoche. Sogyal Rinpoche said that “To hold in your hands Khunu Rinpoche’s own words on bodhicitta is to be given a priceless opportunity – of touching the heart of a master who had made it the guiding light of his entire life…whenever I think of Khunu Rinpoche, I always say to myself, this is what St. Francis of Assisi must have been like”.
Attendance at previous retreat is not required.
The Text to be used is "Vast as the Heavens, Deep as the Sea" by Khunu Rinpoche.
In print and available at bookstores. At Amazon.com
