Chenrezik Sadhana<\/b><\/p>\n

Love, compassion, and wisdom\u2014together known as bodhicitta\u2014are the indivisible nature of the Buddha\u2019s enlightened mind. Chenrezik (Skt. Avalokiteshvara), the Buddha of Infinite Compassion, is the embodiment of these virtuous qualities. Therefore, absolute Chenrezik is none other than love, compassion, wisdom. The figure we visualize during Chenrezik practice is symbolic, yet practising on this relative manifestation will usher our minds into the absolute state of bodhicitta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

Amitabha Sadhana<\/b><\/p>\n

Through the practice of the Buddha of Boundless Light, beings, especially those with faith, are guided to rebirth in Dewachen, the pure realm of immaculate happiness, joy and bliss.
