THE LIGHT OF COMPASSION – MINDFUL RECOLLECTION OF KṢITIGARBHA by Thích Bảo Thành

In this Dharma teaching, we reflect on the boundless compassion of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva (Địa Tạng Bồ Tát) — the Bodhisattva of great vows who walks beside beings in their darkest moments. Kṣitigarbha does not abandon suffering. He stays. He listens. He guides—like a mother holding her child’s hand through fear, confusion, and karmic pain. Known for the vow, “Only when the hells are empty will I become a Buddha,” Kṣitigarbha teaches us that no one is beyond compassion, and no pain is unworthy of care. His staff awakens beings from ignorance, and his light reminds us that transformation begins with presence, patience, and love. This teaching invites us to contemplate: • Karma as a teacher, not a punishment • Compassion as something lived, not imagined • Healing within families, relationships, and ancestral lines • Walking forward gently, even when the path is difficult May this reflection bring comfort, courage, and trust in your own capacity to transform suffering into wisdom.
