Yashobodhi is our guide for this year's Dharma immersion online and at Triratna Centres around the world as part of the 2018 International Practice Week.

Point 2 of the lojong mind training being explored this week as to do with how to practise 'Bodhichitta' (the deep, realised wish for all to attain liberation of heart and mind), introduced in the first of today's three talks.

Having already touched on the area of "absolute" Bodhichitta, here Yashobodhi draws out the "relative" aspect of this same work where the focus in on compassion practice – for ourselves and for all beings. This essential insight work is located within the Tonglen ("sending and receiving via the breath") meditation, to which we are also introduced.

If you have any comments or questions about this point or the retreat itself, let us know in the comments here and we'll try to respond.

With thanks to West London Buddhist Centre.
