Bodhicitta is the wish to free all beings from suffering. This sounds like an overwhelming project but we can begin now to increase our kindness and understanding and gradually build steps to an enlightened mind. The embodiment of compassion is the Buddha Chenrezig, and we will devote one day to meditation on the qualities of this Buddha. As part of the program of developing compassion we will host an animal blessing day. Please bring along pets and creatures of house and garden and they will be blessed with Holy objects and Medicine Buddha mantra.
This teaching follows the discovering Buddhism module “Developing Bodhicitta”

About CEB:
The Cultivating Emotional Balance Training emerged from the Destructive Emotions dialogue between behavioural scientists and the Dalai Lama, Buddhist monks, and scholars at the Mind and Life Institute in Dharamsala, India, in March of 2000. At the culmination of this meeting the Dalai Lama requested that the important ideas raised in these sessions, specifically how to manage the everyday obstacles of our destructive emotions, be turned into an accessible secular training.
