Bodhicitta is Your Essence - Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo

Bodhicitta is Your Essence (Part 1 of Your Treasure is the Bodhisattva Heart)

Bodhicitta, the Great Compassion, the Great Awakening, is often misunderstood by western students.  To have an emotional experience of compassion is not "it".  In fact, the true experience of Bodhicitta cannot be described.  Yet, it is inseparable from the ground of being, from the Path, and from Buddhahood.  Jetsunma guides us through the disciplines required to uncover our innate treasure: the one heart of Bodhicitta.

Teaching originally given September 15th, 1996.
