In this episode, spiritual director John Bruna continues to discuss how we can develop the foundation and motivation of the Mahayana path: Great Compassion. He speaks about how Bodhicitta begins with equanimity and then moves to seeing all beings as having been our kind mothers. John gives a variety of entry points to this challenging task and offers practical guidance suited for our Western minds. This episode was recorded on October 29th, 2025.
