Over two weekend seminars, we’ll explore the potential of human existence and how we can begin to realize it.

As the incomparable master the 3rd Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje taught: In the moment of great love, empty essence nakedly dawns.

What is this love? It is compassion (karuna) and Loving Kindness (metta). It’s pointing to the possibility that our fully realized potential is an inconceivable well-spring beyond any limit.
And this great love is why devotion is also emphasized in Vajrayana practice. It is sometimes called a universal remedy.  That kind of love can cure our most subtle but stubborn afflictions. It is what clears away everything that keeps us from seeing ourselves and others authentically. This love is the beginning of awakening our Bodhicitta.
