"Developing a Supreme Good Heart"
including Mahayana Refuge and Bodhisattva Vow Ceremony

The supreme good heart is the wish, motivated by pure love and universal compassion, to free others permanently from their problems and suffering. Each one of us possesses within our own mind the seed of this good heart and by carefully cultivating correct methods we can bring it to full fruition within this very lifetime thereby giving us and others an inexhaustible source of eternal peace and happiness.
