The Mind of Awakening with Tempa Dukte Lama
Saturday, April 18, 9:30am-5pm
The mind of awakening or Bodhicitta, is the aspiration to benefit all beings in every moment of our life. It is the quality of compassion and wisdom that feels the pain and needs of others. It is a longing to be completely free from habits and fears. But specifically, it is a longing to be free so that you can be part of bringing an awakened culture to this earth and to be a part of alleviating the suffering and dissatisfaction that is part of our human condition. Bodhicitta comes from our own experience of not wanting to suffer anymore. It is the realization that our suffering is shared with everyone. For the sake of others you want to wake up so that you can open your heart and be fearless in the face of everything rather than rejecting ourselves, experiences or others. This mind of awakening gives us the strength and foundation, independent of difficult circumstances.
