Compassion is a mind that finds the suffering of others unbearable and wishes to free them. Compassion is our Buddha seed - our potential to attain enlightenment - and is the foundation for following a way of life directed towards enlightenment. The more powerful our compassion, the more pure and peaceful our mind becomes, and the more our ability to protect and benefit others will increase.
Classes are taught by Resident Teacher, Gen Atisha, and by other senior Teachers, and are based on the book, Transform Your Life. The classes are held at Vajrarupini Center at 3344 4th Avenue in San Diego.
