Ya Kundendu Ode To Saraswati

Bodhicitta, 5 July 2021, San Francisco, USA - Part 1

Bodhicitta has been characterised as kindness, compassion, and the wish to release all beings from suffering. This is correct but does not convey the complete picture. Bodhicitta also involves freeing beings from the causes of suffering. Everyone wants to be free from suffering, but does everyone want to be free from happiness? Probably not, but from the bodhicitta point of view happiness is also problematic, because happiness is a fabricated condition and cannot be trusted or relied upon. A bodhisattva wishes to free sentient beings from all phenomena:  this is what makes bodhicitta unique. Bodhicitta is more accurately characterised as the union of wisdom and skilful means, with the aspiration of awakening all beings to the truth.

01 - Heart Sutra

Dedication “Protecting All Beings” (Toh 286) is a prayer of dedication that strongly resonates with the later Tibetan literature of mind training (blo sbyong). In addition to the classic element of dedication of merit to all beings, a substantial part of the text comprises a passage that enumerates the many faults, shortcomings, and afflictions that burden sentient beings, as well as the many possible attainments that they consequently may not have realized, and culminates in the wish that everything negative that would otherwise ripen for sentient beings may ripen instead for the reciter, so that all sentient beings would thus be liberated and purified.

Ep. 2.2 | English | "The Dedication: Protecting All Beings" recited by Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche

The Dedication “Fulfilling All Aspirations” (Toh 285) is a prayer of dedication, and is meant to be recited. Its structure partly reflects the liturgy of “seven branches” or “seven limbs,” a set of practices that serves as the basic structure of many Mahāyāna Buddhist prayers and rituals. In this instance, however, the text consists of two sections: the first is a detailed prayer of confession, and the second a prayer of rejoicing, requesting that the wheel of the Dharma be turned, beseeching the buddhas not to pass into nirvāṇa, and extensively dedicating the merit.
