About the Event

August 8 Guest Teacher: Elazar Aslan

Dharma Topic: Developing Bodhichitta By Understanding Self-Compassion

Bodhichitta is the said to be a supreme path to and fruit of enlightenment.  Yet, among the many challenges to developing bodhichitta, especially in the West, is our discomfort with and mis-understanding of self-compassion. Most of us feel more comfortable giving compassion to others than to ourselves, but expect our hearts to open fully while still rejecting parts of ourself. Clearly, unbiased empathy, at the root of bodhichitta, requires us to be equally compassionate to all beings and all parts of all beings.

Join us as we explore the obstacles and challenges to self-compassion and the importance of how to overcome them as we continue to be motivated to develop bodhichitta. This will be both a discussion based teaching as well as an experiential one with a Compassion Medley meditation that covers a Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana…
