In this episode of the podcast, Geshe Sonam Ngodup explains that our mind is like an ocean; and love, kindness and so forth are like the ocean's waves. Geshe la teaches in Tibetan and his teachings are translated by Venerable Khedrup.

Geshe la also recites a shloka (verse) from the Bodhisattvacharyavatara and explains the meaning of this verse ( Tib. བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའི་སྤྱོད་པ་ལ་འཇུག་པ་, changchub sempé chöpa la jukpa)  སེམས་རྒྱ་མཚོ་དང་བྱམས་བརྩེ་སོགས་རྒྱ་མཚོའི་རྦ་རླབས་དང་འདྲ་བ། གལ་ཏེ་བཅོས་སུ་ཡོད་ན་ནི།།་དེ་ལ་མི་དགར་ཅི་ཞིག་ཡོད།། གལ་ཏེ་བཅོད་སུ་མེད་ན་ནི།།་དེ་ལ་མི་དགའ་བྱས་ཅི་ཕན།།
