Description: This daylong combines opening to both Relative and Essence Bodhicitta. We will refresh our intention toward and relational practice of compassion: aspiring to have a good heart and awakened mind. And, by tuning-in to ever-present, ever-fresh wakefulness, our essential openness – Bodhi - is able to recognize and more deeply know itself. Only by recognizing and resting in non-striving ease is it possible for the organizing system of mind – citta - to reorient itself to its buddhanature.
