Training the Mind in Compassion

Lama Karma Chötso

True spiritual warriors assume the responsibility of mastering their own minds. By engaging diligently in mindfulness practices, compassion begins to awaken within the practitioner … and eventually expands to include all sentient beings.

Bodhichitta means “awakening mind,” and the path of the Bodhisattva is that of the awakening warrior. Buddhism, like many great spiritual paths, teaches that the development of compassion is paramount for spiritual progression.

Study with Lama Karma Chötso and learn simple trainings in mindfulness to progress more swiftly on the spiritual path. Learn why in Buddhism, having compassion for oneself and all sentient beings is the cornerstone of what makes an awakened warrior.

Offered as 2 satsangs and 2 workshops (subject to change)
