About the Series
《慈悲深化之年》是一个探索香巴拉大乘教义的四部分系列.
菩萨武士之道，始于对自己的爱，并将其扩展到他人, 消除分裂我们的障碍. To support this practice, Shambhala senior teachers taught a year-long course with contemplative and meditation practices from the Buddhist Mahayana teachings of our lineage.
Throughout this four-part series, the main practice is tonglen, taught by Ani Pema Chödrön with a guided meditation and an audio talk that is posted in all four courses. Additional teachings introduce and support other practices of the Mahayana.
This series is divided into four seasonal themes. Within each season, teachers offered talks that related to that topic with their own personal approach. The themes for the four seasons echo the virtues of the Four Dignities of the Shambhala Path: Tiger, 狮子, 嘉鲁达和龙.

部分 3 – 无畏的金翅鸟: 空性和究竟菩提心
大乘佛教的力量来自于它对现实的真实本质的清晰认识. This clarity is described as penetrating insight (prajna), that sees that the world is actually different from what we habitually think it is. Instead of assuming that beings, objects and systems are solid, truly existing independently, the bodhisattva sees that everything is empty of concepts and reference points (shunyata).
