About this listen
The Four Great Vows.
I vow to deliver innumerable sentient beings.
I vow to cut off endless vexations.
I vow to master limitless approaches to dharma.
I vow to attain supreme Buddhahood.
“The practice of emptiness is the practice of seeing things and engaging with everyone through the lens of possibilities. Everything and everyone is workable.” Guo Gu
In this evening’s talk, Guo Gu presents Chapter 7 of the Vimalakirti Sutra, which discusses the concept of the bodhisattva’s compassion. Compassion is described not as sentimental pity, but as an activity associated with awakened wisdom—characterized by being limitless, impartial, and unaffected by craving or fear. It is said to be rooted in emptiness and is intended to respond appropriately to suffering without exhaustion or self-reference.
On the first and third Monday of each month, Guo Gu offers teachings on the practice of Chan Buddhism. In this session, he continues his series on the Chan Liturgy—exploring the chants, prayers, and offerings that are integral to our practice.
