Towards Bodhicitta: Seeing Others As The Buddha Does

This meditation is from a series of teachings Venerable Sangye Khadro gave in part of the text “Ornament for Clear Realization.” This is the fourth meditation of 11, though they do not need to be listened to in order.

The Buddha sees beings as equally deserving of compassion and kindness. Unlike us, he doesn't categorize beings as “friends” or “enemies.” Develop the Buddha's attitude towards others by reflecting on the final three of 9 points, from the point of view of the ultimate truth.

Peaceful and liberating. How should we view a person who supports torture? Is this just a political point of view? Thank you 🙏🏽

This was wonderful to listen to. The example about the road is very powerful for me. My mind “showed me” all sentient beings as points of light, all the same color…and how I was one of those and that we are all interconnected. This will be a great image to keep in mind and meditate on. Thank you🙏
