Infinite Heart - A Lojong Teaching

During this 2004 retreat weekend at the Garrison Institute in Garrison, NY, Gelek Rimpoche shares how we can free ourselves from narrow, negative habits that limit our happiness and cause harm to ourselves and others. With “nine bullets to defeat the ego” Gelek Rimpoche presents vivid examples to help us recognize the limitations of narrow self-interest and, in turn, to discover the infinite value of developing our innate capacity for love and compassion. Sharing a radical little practice called tong len, Gelek Rimpoche also introduces the pivotal point that holds our compassion hostage, helping us to awaken to ever present opportunities for expanding our heart’s natural ability to always act from a place of fearless compassion.
