Speaking openly he uses everyday relatable things like cooking to explain meditation techniques and devotion. About monsters and relating to fear. The taking of refuge and developing bodhichitta in a way so clear and sharp I feel like I’ve never heard about them before. This is the great power of a true master, to bring these ancient and awkwardly foreign concepts to our western minds and help them bloom into understanding. This is the great path of a bodhisattva, to help us along the way, no matter how slow and feeble we might be - yours truly most certainly included. This is the Karmapa, under shades of any color, and hues of beauty and simplicity, he unravels and exposes the truth of that which is most important. This is the true power of the Buddha Dharma. This is the power of simplicity.
