This supreme aspiration serves as our foundation for all our dharma practice, culminating in absolute bodhicitta, in which we gain insight into the true nature of our mind and phenomenaThe teachings were given in English but have also been translated into French, German, Spanish and Italian.Practical DetailsAll videos are available on Vimeo until 7 January 2021 (9 hours in total).
