Sunday Cyber Sangha: Meditation and Dharma

August 29 Guest Teacher: Sue Passante

Deepening Our Bodhicitta through Visualization 

 The meditation technique of visualization is found throughout the Vajrayana practices of Tibetan Buddhism.  Visualization makes heavy use of our imagination which differs from other meditations, such as shamatha or calm abiding.   Over time, visualization can change our perceptions, build confidence in the teachings and strengthen our practice.  When directed at developing bodhicitta, visualization can bring to life the wisdom and compassion of the Great Bodhisattvas.  An important visualization is The Refuge Tree or Field of Merit found in the Preliminary Practices (ngöndro) in all Tibetan Buddhist traditions.   Practitioners use this sacred image to offer devotion to the lineage of realized beings, the root guru and the Three Jewels.  Please join Sue Passante, for a guided meditation that uses The Refuge Tree as support for deepening our bodhicitta.
