Tibetan Buddhist teacher Anam Thubten offers a rich view of practicing balance between compassion and wisdom. He reminisces about his own love of the Heart Sutra, and his personal relationship with Avalokiteshvara- the bodhisattva of compassion. For a time, he leaned too much into wisdom and lost compassion. Bringing this bodhisattva back into his consciousness allowed him to find joy and novelty in emptiness. Practicing upaya (skillful means) and prajna (wisdom), we can find a balance in a shaky world.
