His Holiness in Bodh Gaya

December 30, 2022;

His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave a three-day teaching on Commentary on Bodhicitta (awakening the mind) at Kalachakra Teaching Ground in Bodhgaya in Bihar. More than 70,000 people from 60 countries joined devotees from India and Nepal to attend. “This, the Seat of Enlightenment, is the most sacred of the sites associated with the Buddha” said His Holiness, “elsewhere he taught the Four Noble Truths and the Thirty-seven Harmonies of Enlightenment, but here we are reminded of the essence of all his teachings, which is to discipline the mind for the benefit of sentient beings”. His Holiness continued, “Listen to and study the Buddha’s teachings. Reflect on them over and over again, then meditate on what you’ve understood. Be determined to work for the welfare of others. This is how you will reach the domain of the enlightened ones. If you have bodhichitta within, you’ll be at peace.”
