In the summer of 2023, Tulku Migmar Tsering guided us toward a deeper experience of compassion. Over a week-long series of personalized teachings and practice sessions, Tulku Migmar led us into ever greater insights into how we can develop ever greater compassion, the heart of Buddhist path. This style of mind-training is a powerful mechanism to purify our mental obscurations and help us train in bodhicitta, the mind set on awakening for the sake of sentient beings.

These teachings also provided the opportunity to learn one of the key practices of this mind-training tradition, giving-and-taking (tonglen), which was brought to Tibet by the Indian master Atisha Dipamkara who in turn learned it from an Indonesian master of many years of searching and hardship. Participants were give a chance to study and refine this practice during this retreat.

This showcase includes six full class recordings. Each session runs approximately 90 minutes.
