Awakening the Wise Heart Retreat


Among the most essential teachings in the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism are the instructions on developing bodhichitta, the aspiration to attain enlightenment for the sake of all beings. In this weekend retreat, Geshe Sherab will skillfully provide teachings on the technique to develop bodhichitta known as “equalizing and exchanging self and others” that utilizes the profound and powerful technique of tonglen, “taking and giving.” The weekend will also include guided meditations on cultivating bodhichitta accompanied by the practice of Chenrezig (Skt. Avalokiteshvara), the manifestation of the compassion of all the Buddhas.
