Awakening Bodhicitta Retreat with Lama Lakshey Zangpo

The heartfelt practice of Bodhicitta is a path to profound awakening. It transcends our individual identity and reveals the realization of the perfection of emptiness. Cultivating bodhicitta, reduces self-centeredness, reveals the interconnectedness of all things, and strengthens one’s compassion. The ultimate goal of Bodhicitta is the eradication of suffering and the attainment of perfect Buddhahood.
