Guided Practices | Awakening Compassion Through Concentration, Imagination, and Prayer

This spiritual exercise is known in some gnostic circles as a prayer for the irradiation of love, a direct correlative of awakening, developing, and empowering bodhichitta: the enlightened compassion of selfless cognizance striving to alleviate humanity's suffering. Learn how to develop concentration, imagination, and prayer in combination to produce a profound synthesis: the rare virtue of divine compassion in service of others' wellbeing.

This exercise accompanies the lecture Cultivating Bodhichitta Through Intention and Practice from The Way of the Bodhisattva course.
