Aishah is attending a residential retreat taught by Kittisaro and Thanissara, co-founders of Sacred Mountain Sangha, on the Kuan Yin dharmas. The teachings of Kuan Yin Bodhisattva, the Greatly Compassionate One Who Listens at Ease to the Sounds of the World, offer a multi-dimensional medicine for healing the body, calming the mind, liberating the heart, and protecting the planet from the universal poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion. Understanding the Kuan Yin Dharmas integrates the classic wisdom and compassion teachings of the Theravada with the Mahayana emphasis on the Bodhisattva as a universal ideal; the two schools interweave, each sharing fundamental elements of the other.
