Rinpoche began the teaching by explaining that the Eight Verses of Thought Transformation was composed by Kadampa Geshe Langri Tangpa. This is a bodhichitta practice equalizing I and others and exchanging oneself with others. Nagarjuna said “whatever suffering the sentient beings have, may it be ripened to me, all that. Whatever happiness merits I have collected may it ripened upon all sentient beings” This can be used when encountering any difficulties in life. Rinpoche then told the story about one monk who was not able to remember even two words of dharma until he purified his karma. Rinpoche said that we can all develop our mind and purify it. Every mind has potential to be omniscient, to be buddha.
