Mindfulness Meditation with Gegye Rinpoche 05/01/2025

·30 min·2 clips

When you hold a Vajra, you are holding a whole set of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas—it's a very powerful tool.

This episode features Gege Yonge Tukur Rinpoche leading a compassion meditation inspired by an 18th-century Tibetan Vajra artifact. He explains the Vajra's symbolism as a tool for skillful means and Bodhicitta, shares stories about misguided compassion, and guides a visualization practice to purify and extend compassion to all beings.

As heard by us

A patient teaching on compassion, suffering, and the work of opening the heart.

Rinpoche's talk stays close to compassion, bodhicitta, and vajra mind, circling back to suffering, attachment, anger, and the plain work of opening the heart.
