Rinpoche taught about the kindness of even animals and therefore we learn Buddhist philosophy to benefit, practice good heart, so if even animals do that, why not us. By taking refuge you abandon to harm sentient beings. Even animals, insects like yourself, they have the exactly same feeling of wanting happiness and not wanting suffering. Rinpoche explained a quote from Shantideva about when sentient beings harm you it is the result of your karma and by that it then causes them to suffer. Rinpoche explained how unbelievably precious it is that we have now met the dharma and the importance of dharma centers. Rinpoche then explained how everything comes from one’s mind and that the mind is what makes every action we do become dharma or non-dharma, virtue or non-virtue. Rinpoche then briefly explained the benefits of OM MANI PADME HUM mantra, even reciting it without bodhichitta motivation. Rinpoche reminded us that here we are learning Master’s Program, Basic Program, there are details how to develop compassion, but you have to meditate your mind has to transform into compassion, so to have effortless experience. Now have to understand how important this retreat is, normally we don’t have much time or too lazy, but here we can put effort, it is quickest way to go to pure land and then you can become enlightened quicker.
