The Nectar of Bodhicitta Part 2
With Venerable Steve Carlier
September 5 - October 17, 2024
Thursdays, September 5 – October 17
8:00 am – 9:30 am
Online ONLY
In this series, we will continue with bodhicitta, following Lama Tsong Khapa’s Middle Length Stages of the Path. Lama Tsong Khapa explains two ways to meditate on bodhicitta, and there is another way that combines them.
In the words of Kunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen, a guru of HH Dalai Lama and widely recognized as a guru:
When you walk, walk with bodhicitta.
When you sit, sit with bodhicitta.
When you stand, stand with bodhicitta.
When you sleep, sleep with bodhicitta.
When you look, look with bodhicitta.
When you eat, eat with bodhicitta.
When you speak, speak with bodhicitta.
When you think, think with bodhicitta.
That’s how an actual Bodhisattva’s feels about bodhicitta.
