His Holiness the Dalai Lama (as many other great teachers) 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 retreat will give an in-depth understanding of Bodhicitta (Enlightened or Awakened Mind) as expounded by the great Indian Buddhist Panditas such as Nagarjuna and Shantideva.
We based our study and practices on the short work of a contemporary Indian Buddhist sage Khunu Rinpoche. Sogyal Rinpoche says “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”.
