In this session, the spiritual director of the Way of Compassion Dharma Center, John Bruna, offers commentary on the primary causes and secondary conditions for Enlightenment. He offers a helpful perspective for Westerners on receiving blessings, gaining confidence in the Buddhist teachings through personal practice, and explains that as our minds develop along the path, we will become more open to the blessings of the Buddhas that are always present.
