Conversation with Thupten Jinpa on February 22

During this one-hour conversation at Meditation Montréal, Thupten Jinpa will talk about meditation and compassion practice in contemporary societies. He will also explain how Mind Training can be helpful to people.

Thupten Jinpa is the author of "A Fearless Heart: How the Courage to Be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives" and is the English translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In his book, he explains how compassion helps us let go of negative emotion and leads to happier and healthier lives.

About love, compassion and wisdom

This morning, I had this reflection about good or bad appearances that arise and I found this wonderful quote provided by Barry Kerzin, who is a doctor, a monk, a teacher, and a lazy man (as he describes himself) : 

"No matter what appearances may arise, may they be good or bad, may I transform them into a path ever enhancing the two Bodhicittas of unconditional love and compassion, and wisdom. I devote my life to changing whatever arises into healthy positive attitudes and emotions that will propel me to enlightenment so that I may maximally benefit others guiding them to states free of pain and suffering all the way to enlightenment. No matter what appearances may arise, may they be good or bad, may I transform them into a path ever enhancing the two Bodhicittas of unconditional love and compassion, and wisdom for my own maximal wellbeing and the maximal wellbeing of all others. Emaho!"

I wish you a wonderful week
