On Saturday, 10th June 2006, at 4.30 pm, we had a talk in the Times of India Bldg by Venerable Sumati, who is a trustee of the Root Institute in Bodh Gaya and of the Maitreya Project. Educated in England, Venerable Sumati was drawn very early to Buddhism and has spent the past twenty-three years or so working closely with Lama Zopa Rinpoche, who is the spiritual director of the Root Institute. Ven. Sumati spoke on the Three Vehicles or the three great traditions in Buddhism.
Some interesting points: Real happiness starts when you cherish others...
Bodhi chit is the desire to become a Buddha in order to awaken others...
Compassion creates Bodhi Chit...If you have a Bodhi Chit you become a Bodhi Satwa!
