“Before the start of every practice, the initial motivation for the practice is important. That is compassion or bodhicitta. So when chanting or doing anything meritorious, one should have a mind of compassion in order to generate the greatest benefit for oneself and other sentient beings “
- His Eminence Tritsab Gyabra Rinpoche in 18th 100 Million Mani Recitation Retreat (21-25 Dec 2018)
