From Me to We: Unlocking the Self-Centered Mind (Link #802)

Speaker: Wendy Conquest. Wendy shares her process of discovering equanimity, the first step toward a mind poised for bodhicitta. The wish to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings is challenging. It requires acknowledging the equality between ourselves and others in our shared wish for happiness. Authentic concern for all beings is the heart of the practice and the key to dissolving self-centered mind. Through mindful introspection, Wendy was able to shift from equanimity as a concept to directly experiencing it as bodhicitta, allowing her to see beings as they are, expand the heart, and acknowledge the essential equality of all beings.
