Generating the Bodhi Mind – Taming the Inner Elephant and Horse 09/07/2025

This document presents excerpts from a lecture by Venerable Master Bennie of the Australian Buddhist Practice Association, translated into Vietnamese by Grace Spirit, focusing on “Generating the Bodhi Mind.” The core discussion revolves around a Buddhist scripture that compares the Bodhi Mind to a tamed elephant and a gentle horse, symbolizing its ability to control defilements and abandon unwholesome traits. The master and a disciple explore how cultivating the Bodhi Mind enables one to overcome afflictions and develop wisdom, highlighting the importance of training the mind to achieve a state of clarity and compassion where one can effectively teach others and transcend negativity.
