The Heart of Awakening: An Exploration of Bodhicitta.

Bodhicitta — the mind of awakening — is among the most beautiful and profound teachings of the Buddhist path. Khandrola Rinpoche invites us to explore its boundless heart, and how, as we journey into its depths, a coemergent wisdom naturally dawns — an insight into emptiness that illuminates the very nature of our own minds.

ABOUT KHANDRO RINPOCHE: BIO IN VERSE

Barely surviving, I made it to Dharamsala, in the noble land of India.


How I was received at Nèlen by some heartless staff!


While being denied an audience with His Holiness, a lot of time was lost. 


Receiving mistreatment and scorn, this illusory body was filled with illness.
 


At a time when I was slightly better, 


By the power of various prophesies of deities and lamas,


And help given by some spiritual friends,


I got the good fortune, the opportunity to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
 


For many years a deity had sometimes taken me over. 


I didn’t know who it was, and I didn’t know what to do about it.


At the end of meeting the Great Vajradhara, the Victorious Dalai Lama,

The Protectors Tseringma and Tenma entered me.


I was then authorized and enthroned as the Official Tibetan Government Oracle of Tseringma and Tenma.
 


I received uncommon, profound pith instructions from His Holiness on Lama, Yidam, Khandro and Protectors.


Particularly, His Holiness proclaimed I have a special karmic connection with The Secret Hidden Pure Visions of the 5th Dalai Lama

And he authorized me as the Doctrine-Holder of those teachings.
 


His Holiness the Dalai Lama said I am a self-occurring yogini

And gave me empowerments, transmissions, and pith instructions.  


For ten years I exerted myself earnestly in meditating on approach and accomplishment on what I received from him.


For more than twenty years, I received teachings from the King of Victorious Ones, Vajradhara Dalai Lama,


And empowerments, transmissions, and pith instructions on the great scriptures and so forth directly from various great masters of all Tibetan Buddhist lineages.


I applied myself for a long time in listening, contemplation, meditation, accomplishment, and the activities.
 


Realizing emptiness, compassion naturally dawned, and I arrived at faith.


May the undeceiving ocean of the three roots grant auspiciousness!
