Chenrezig “Buddha of Compassion” Sadhana & Tsok
Time: 7 pm to 9 pm
The Buddha of Compassion, known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit and Chenrezig in Tibetan, manifests as enlightened compassionate activity. Chenrezig embodies the highest and purest level of compassion; immeasurable compassion, that is completely unstained by any negative emotions or obscurations, and is so vast that it includes all sentient beings without exception. The benefits of chanting Chenrezig’s mantra “Om Mani Padme Hung” are inconceivable. Through chanting the mantra we can awaken our enlightened potential and transform our speech from being impure to a state of purity. Through visualizing Chenrezig in our mind we can become familiar with the thoughts and deeds of a Buddha and gradually transform our impure mind and body to a state of purity. This sadhana was written specifically for the Drukpa Mila Center by H.H. Ngawang Tenzin Rinpoche of Bhutan.
