Public Talk "Opening the Heart: Arousing the Mind of Universal Kindness" by Gonsa Rinpoche

7:00 pm


The eighth century Indian master Shantideva said, “The mind of universal kindness is like the magical elixir that turns base metals into gold. It transforms an ordinary person into one on the path of growth and happiness.” Love and kindness are mental archetypes that all beings possess. The more we strengthen them, the more beneficial we become too thers and ourselves. Buddhism presents numerous contemplative techniques for intensifying and enhancing these archetypes, until they achieve full maturity and universality.

A concise Tibetan Buddhist teaching by Bodhisattva Togme Zangpo (14th century) that outlines 37 practical instructions for living as a bodhisattva - someone dedicated to achieving enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. A practical guide for daily conduct that transforms ordinary actions into the bodhisattva path. The practices emphasize (Lam Rim) Stages of The Path to Enlightenment and (Lojong) Training the Mind to benefit others even at personal cost.
