Also known as Avalokiteshvara, Kuan
Yin, and Kannon, Chenrezig is the Buddha of Compassion.
Chenrezig is also our best friend. Could we have a better
friend than Chenrezig? Is there anyone who could care about
us more or help us more than the Great Compassionate One?
But as with all friendships, we have to cultivate the relationship.
We can't just take it for granted. Our daily meditation
on Chenrezig is like touching base with our best friend
every day, and doing Chenrezig retreat is like going on
vacation with the one we love the most. It's something we
can take delight in and appreciate.
This spiral bound book contains a meditation
practice (sadhana) for Thousand-Arm Chenrezig that combines
a short sadhana composed by Lama
Zopa Rinpoche with elements of the longer sadhana written
by the Seventh Dalai Lama. The commentary on the practice
is by Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron. A Western nun, Bhikshuni
Chodron's inspiring and oftentimes humorous commentary offers
us tips on how to make this practice relevant to our lives
by meditating on emptiness, compassion, and deity yoga.
Highly recommended
reading for anyone doing Nyung.na or any other Chenrezig
practice.
