Intrinsically Empty, Naturally Radiant, Ceaselessly Responsive

“When compassion and emptiness are both present, enlightenment is unavoidable.”

A lucid discourse on the virtues of emptiness, awareness, and compassion, and the fundamental role these qualities play in the unfolding of the spiritual path. The heart-mind of awakening, known as Bodhicitta, is explored on its relative level of compassion, and its more ultimate level relating to the empty and aware nature of the mind itself.
