The Precious Bodhi Tree - verses 13 to 15
Subject:
Teachings on impartial compassion, based on a composition of Ranyak Patrul Rinpoche 2010 is a very special and fortunate year for Rinpoche's students. Rinpoche will offer teachings on "The Precious Bodhi Tree" at all centres he visits this year. It will be a very rare and precious opportunity to study and be inspired by this profound text composed by Rinpoche himself.
Highlighting accurately the relationship between the sickness of ego-grasping and samsara on the one hand, and medicinal impartial compassion and nirvana on the other, the wish-fulfilling Precious Bodhi Tree aims at sowing the seed of bodhicitta in us, powerfully instilling compassion and inspiring us to take refuge in its shelter until we attain the supreme fruit of unchangeable Buddhahood.

This mind of the bodhi tree always produces
medicinal branches of compassion,
leaves of understanding,
flowers of loving-kindness,
and the fruit of realization
which understands the truth.
