The Sadhana of Chenrezi – A guided meditation practice
Chenrezi Guided Meditation
Chenrezi (or Chenrezig) is an archetypal embodiment of the enlightened essence of mind – in particular, the quality of compassion. The sadhana of Chenrezi is a meditation practice in the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition. One of the foundational transcendental archetypes from the Himalayan schools of Buddhism, Chenrezig (Tibetan) is also known as Avalokiteshvara (Sanskrit) and associated with Kannon in Japan and Guanyin in China.
You may have heard of the mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, associated with Chenrezi in Tibet. Students in our lineage practice the Chenrezi meditation in what is known as their Foundation Work, saying the mantra one million times to create the foundation for compassion in their being.
Catherine Pawasarat Sensei kindly recorded a guided audio meditation of the traditional Chenrezi sadhana, or practice instructions, available below.
