Bodhicitta Demystified - Accessing the Heart Mind of Enlightenment // Ep. 7

In the 7th episode of the Lion-Faced Guru Podcast, Kim Rinpoche, Lama Karl and Acharya Ugi from the Pemako Buddhist lineage will talk about one of the essential aspects of dharmic practice: Bodhicitta, the aspiration to achieve Buddhahood for the liberation of all sentient beings.  As simple and straightforward this aspect of Bodhicitta might seem, it’s one of the topics so many practitioners of Dharma struggle with. And a quick look into Dharma literature reveals that this isn’t due to a lack of explanation. The books are full of explanations regarding Bodhicitta. Yet, people have a hard time connecting their own experience to it which often leads to doubt, confusion and hesitation towards the Dharma and their practice thereof. In the following pragmatic discussion, we will address these difficulties from our own personal understanding that we’ve come to due to our own experiences and challenges with the aspect of Bodhicitta.
