Generating the Bodhi Mind – Wisdom, Action, and Experience 16/07/2025

This document presents a Buddhist lecture given by Venerable Master Bennie, produced by Chơn Ngộ (Grace Spirit), for the Australian Buddhist Practice Incorporated. The lecture, titled “Generating the Bodhi Mind,” explores the concept of Bodhi Mind through a series of similes from a Buddhist scripture. Each simile, such as Bodhi Mind being like a wish-fulfilling jewel, a sharp plow, or an armor, is introduced by the Master and then discussed with a disciple, illustrating its meaning in the context of Buddhist practice and overcoming suffering and delusion. The discussion frequently draws parallels to real-world examples and the challenges of spiritual cultivation, emphasizing the importance of genuine understanding and personal verification over mere theoretical knowledge.
