37 Practices of a Bodhisattva

About this program

Join us for teachings with Anyen RInpoche on the “37 Practices of the Bodhisattva”; a practical guide to developing bodhichitta, based on the lojong slogans.

Training the Mind in Kindness & Compassion The 37 Practices of the Bodhisattva is a powerful Buddhist text on training the mind in kindness and compassion. It's a guide that teaches us practical ways to turn difficult situations into opportunities for growth and transformation. How to Become a Bodhisattva The teachings from this text describe the path of the bodhisattva, someone who is dedicated to the welfare of all sentient beings. By working for the happiness and well-being of others, we can awaken our own innate wisdom and compassion. Although we are focused on helping others in our world, by doing so, we can realize the ideals of the 37 Practices ourselves. Beginners to Vajrayana Students Although this class will appeal to students new to the Buddhist path, it will also speak to more advance practitioners. All Mahayana and Vajrayana practitioners are striving to develop the quality of an immovable mind; a mind that is peaceful, compassionate, and not thrown into chaos by anything outside or within. We will be studying Gyalse Tokme Zangpo’s seminal text The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva . Join us as Anyen Rinpoche illuminates its meaning, making it available to bring into our mind and heart every day. We will be covering the first half of this essential text in this program.
