Refuge and Bodhichitta Verse - An Introduction

In this short video Ven. Amy Miller explains the meaning of a verse for taking and refuge and generating bodhichitta that is often recited at the beginning of prayers and practices. She discusses why to take refuge and the objects in which a Buddhist takes refuge, as well as the meaning of bodhichitta and the reasons for generating this altruistic thought to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. A more detailed explanation of this subject can be found in Lama Zopa Rinpoche's teaching “The Refuge and Bodhichitta Verse,” a module of the online program Living in the Path (onlinelearning.fpmt.org/cours....

    Thank you very much Venerable Amy. Just exactly what I am looking for, and as ever your presentation is always clear and concise. And most importantly it is made so very easy to understand, thus to put into practice. Though I already know everything that has been presented.......I needed to hear it again, sometimes we need to hear things again to rejuvenate our mind especially when we are generating the Bodhisattva Mind. We need to keep regenerating the energy we begun such motivations. I think this going back like renewing vows , just like in the west when attached we retake our marriage vows to rekindle that energy. I think it’s really important to keep renewing and refreshing our minds of the “Meaning” of what we are doing and generating and why. Thank you very much Venerable-La. I wish you all at F.P.M.T. the best of excellent health, happiness, and well being. And continue to serve all your followers.🙏🙏🙏🙇🏽

    I've been to her teachings in person and have been disappointed by her demonstrable lack of compassion. It disturbed me.

I was singularly unimpressed by this person. One´s knowledge of the dharma is of no use if it not put into practice. She is cold and seems very high on herself.

    daysjours Hi. With sincere hope you are well in such dramatic circumstances in which we all experience today. While equally as important, I am sincerely sorry for your experience, this is somewhat rare. Venerable Amy is of high calibre and somewhat very direct in her approach to teachings. Venerable is very approachable, very open and always always happy to console a person be that student or just a member of the public or community. Every teacher has their own individual approach. And while “Appearance/s “ can be deceptive we are all under the sway of default modes, and these are occurring so quickly not even the fastest computer could possibly be faster. It is like two broken wires that momentarily touch cause a spark , but they never remain touching, but each time they touch there is this spark. We are all exactly like this unless you are a Buddha. Therefore. We are all working on ourselves, and we are doing this together, supporting each other, rejoicing in the other persons progress. And outside the Buddhist community giving victory to the person we think has aggrieved us......at least later when you realise “Oh I see it now,they didn’t mean anything bad, they just wanted me to see something I have a habit of doing which annoys the crap out of them....good job I didn’t explode in their face, I would of looked a right horses butt”. ....and we move on from it progressing with that previous experience and putting into practice more and more of what we did previously,cultivating it. Getting better at it....until just as you learn to walk you no longer think of putting either foot first followed by the other. It’s instantaneous. I personally from my own experience with Venerable Amy, that such person would have meant you to feel the way you did. She really is a wonderful and compassionate person and once you really get to know Venerable Amy, you will notice just how much time she really has for those she expounds the teachings to. And that is everyone. If venerable gives teachings to you, in as much venerable is thinking of your family, your family freinds work mates etc benefiting from such profound teachings. Don’t trust my words...that’s blind belief , better you “Continue” to go to the teacher’s teachings, and develop that trust, develop your own educated trust and belief in Venerables heart and mind, that Venerable has the aspirations towards everyone even “You”. May I take the opportunity to wish you and everyone around you the best of excellent health, happiness, and well being. Stay safe take care 🙏🙏🙏
