Meditation Session Focuses on Fierce Compassion Through Himalayan Deity

A meditation session led by Elaine Retholtz explores the concept of fierce compassion using a 14th-century Tibetan sculpture of Mahakala as inspiration. The guided meditation begins at 7:14. Mahakala is a protective deity depicted with wrathful attributes who transforms negative emotions into wisdom. Retholtz, who has studied Dharma since 1988, teaches mindfulness practices and helps integrate them into daily life. The session connects spiritual practice with Himalayan art from the Rubin Museum's collection.
