Emptiness & Absolute Bodhicitta [Online]

Absolute bodhicitta is realizing the true nature of our mind and heart– and the true nature of all phenomena– as space, emptiness, or openness.

Recognizing emptiness of both self and other is referred to as ‘two-fold egolessness’ and is related to the sixth paramita of prajna, which we will explore in great detail in this module.

The power of the Mahayana comes from its clarity regarding the true nature of reality. This clarity is described as penetrating insight (prajna) that sees that the world is actually different from what we habitually think it is.

This is the Third module in a year of Mahayana studies hosted by Seattle Shambhala Center’s teachers on Zoom.
