Lazy Lama Looks at Bodhichitta: Awakening Compassion and Wisdom

by mfordscot on May 31, 2001

in Lazy Lama Series,Publications

LL_bodhi Bodhicitta literally means “mind of awakening”. It is the awakening of compassion and wisdom – the great compassionate wish for the wellbeing of all sentient beings, combined with the understanding of how that wish may be fulfilled. Ringu Tulku discusses the profound ideal of bohichitta in an accessible and friendly way that brings it within everyone’s reach. He points out that bodhichitta is a natural extension of our innate wish to work for our own wellbeing – “kindness to others is based on our kindness to ourselves” – and holds out hope for each one of us to awaken our bodhichitta, not by acquiring something new, but by realising our deepest, most natural way of being.

The Lazy Lama Looks at Refuge: Finding a Purpose and a Path.

by mfordscot on January 7, 2001

in Lazy Lama Series,Publications

LL-refuge Continuing his Lazy Lama series of informal works, Ringu Tulku conducts an accessible discussion of what it is to take refuge in the Buddhist sense. He shows how refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha leads to a profound purpose in our lives, and how a firm commitment toward fulfilling such an aim might be made. As the author writes: “Discovering a purpose is maybe the most important thing we can do. Whatever we’re doing, if we have a purpose, if we have a dream, then we can find a way.”
