Vast as the Heavens, Deep as the Sea : Verses in Praise of Bodhicitta

Bodhicitta--the aspiration to achieve enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings--lies at the core of the Bodhisattva ideal for Mahayana Buddhism. The late Tibetan master Khunu Rinpoche was revered by many, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, as the very embodiment of this ultimate form of altruism. In this modern classic, Khunu Rinpoche's heartfelt verses--presented in both English and Tibetan--bestow upon his unparalleled vision of the incomparable power of Bodhicitta.
