We are human beings who have encountered the Buddha’s teachings and have the opportunity and resources to tame our minds by expanding our understanding. Then, in exile, I had the opportunity to become better acquainted with the practice of bodhichitta, so I have personal experience of the change it can bring. Through daily acquaintance with the minds of whitish appearance, reddish increase and black near attainment, as well as the three empties that presage the subtle clarity and awareness of the clear light of death, we hope ultimately to reach the state of ‘all-empty’ giving rise to the illusory body. Today, in this sacred place of Vajra-asana, we have here a flame of hope and an opportunity to pray for lasting peace in the world. We can reduce this misconception by meditating on emptiness and combining that meditation with the awakening mind of bodhichitta. This is just what the Buddhas of the past have done. “This is why I remind you to find the time to cultivate bodhichitta and an understanding of emptiness while you are here. “All the flaws within us arise because we cling to the inherent existence of people and things. He remarked that having the opportunity to gather merit and purify negativity for a second day, being in such a sacred place makes a difference. ‘Flame of Hope’ wishes to change the world by lighting the spark of hope for peace in children’s hearts. After he had waved to the crowd and saluted the senior lamas, His Holiness took his seat on the throne. Bodhgaya, Bihar, India, 30 December 2022: This morning, His Holiness the Dalai Lama returned to the Kalachakra Ground for a second round of teachings.
