In the whole of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, there is no single treatise more deeply revered or widely practiced than A Bodhisattva’s way of Life by Shantideva. It is revered in Buddhist circles as one of the most authoritative expositions of the other Buddhist practices are means to support the generation of this wisdom within the practitioner.

“As long as space endures, as long as sentient beings remain, may I likewise remain to dispel the sorrows of the world.” Shantideva

Over the course of the weekend, His Holiness will explore the six perfections that provide the basis for the Bodhisattva way of life -generosity,ethics, patience, zeal, meditative concentration and wisdom.

His Holiness has stated, “If I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of the Bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text that I possess it”.
