Awakening the Heart: Developing Bodhichitta
Advertisement
HALF DAY COURSE
with Resident Teacher, Gen Kunden
In this troubled world, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the suffering we see around us. Yet within each of us lies an extraordinary potential—an inner capacity for compassion so vast and courageous that it can transform every moment of our life into a path of deep meaning. This is bodhichitta, the compassionate wish to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all living beings. It is known as the supreme good heart, the very essence of the Bodhisattva’s way of life, and the most powerful force for personal and global change.
In this course, we will learn how to cultivate the two aspects of bodhichitta: aspiring bodhichitta, the heartfelt wish to attain enlightenment for others, and engaging bodhichitta, the commitment to put this wish into practice. We will explore how these minds protect us from negativity, reduce our self‑centred habits, and open the door to profound inner peace.
Each session will consist of short teachings, prayers and meditations with refreshments between sessions.
$25. Includes refreshments. Free for members
