The Way of the Bodhisattva

Compassion is the guiding principle of Bodhisattvas - those who vow to attain awakening in order to liberate all living beings from suffering and confusion and their means of achieving it are the trainings in generosity, ethics, patience, joyous effort, meditative concentration and wisdom.

The Way of the Bodhisattva by the great 8th century Buddhist master Shantideva, is the clearest and most comprehensive text ever written on how to become a Bodhisattva and implement these trainings in our daily lives.

For the past 1200 years it has formed the basis of Mahayana Buddhist practice in India & Tibet.

Through his teachings and discussion, but as well by way of his example, Geshe Pema Tsering will help us to find our way in becoming and travelling the spiritual path of the Bodhisattva.

Tuesdays at 7.15 pm. Suitable for all.
Facility fee: $10, $8 concession, $7 members
