Members of the Triratna Buddhist Order on their Pan-American Convention join with women training for ordination to chant the Bodhichitta mantra for the benefit of all beings.

The 'Bodhichitta' is sometimes rendered as the 'will to Enlightenment' or the 'heart-mind of Enlightenment' - signifying the complete dedication of our efforts to cultivate wisdom and compassion, in line with the Buddha's teachings, making no distinction between our own well-being and that of others. In that sense the development of Bodhichitta is a truly communal practice, and might even be said to arise on a collective basis. The mantra captures a flavor of what that might mean and the joy implied.

Recorded at Chintamani Buddhist Retreat Centre in Mexico during the 2015 Pan-American Triratna Buddhist Order Convention.

Viriyalila in conversation with the wonderful Saddhajoti, whose vision of a Buddhist retreat centre rising out of barren sugar cane plantation land has been fully realized here at Chintamani, near Cuernavaca in Mexico.

It's a truly extraordinary achievement, and the great beauty and elegance of the place has been hugely enjoyed by all lucky enough o be attending the Triratna Buddhist Order's 2015 Pan-American Convention.

We hear how Chintamani - named after the mythical wish-fulfilling jewel which is a symbol for the Dharma offered for all beings - came into existence; and also how it forms part of a growing network of Triratna Buddhist Centres in Mexico and, more importantly, supports the community to go deeper into practice together.
