H.H. 17th Gyalwang Karmapa
Teaching on Compassion
July 26, 2011, Kunzang Palchen Ling: His Holiness prefaced the short Chenrezik empowerment by a teaching on the qualities of love and compassion embodied in Chenrezik. He spoke of compassion as the lord (or king) of our heart (or mind) to whom we should surrender ourselves thereby allowing ourselves to listen to this leader's advice. At the same time, His Holiness said, we should exercise wisdom that, like a king's minister, helps implement the lord's intention or plan in a correct manner.
