TRANSFORMING THE MIND THROUGH THE THEATER OF COMPASSION

Chenrezig (Sanskrit – Avalokitesvara or the “one who looks with unwavering eye”), is the Buddha of Compassion, particularly revered in Tibet and called upon during times of challenge and difficulty. The lineage of the Dalai Lamas are said to be emanations of Chenrezig. This weekend, Glenn Mullin will teach from a text by the 2nd Dalai Lama, and help us bring compassion to life through an embodied meditational form.
