Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva with Geshe Lobsang Tsultrim

4 Tuesdays 8/28-9/18 6:30pm-8:30pm

The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva is an important Lojong text containing thirty-seven verses with instructions on following the Bodhisattva path. A Bodhisattva is a person who has cultivated bodhicitta, the compassionate wish to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. It is said that, of all the Buddhist realizations and practices, the most essential is bodhicitta. Join us as Geshe Tsultrim instructs us on developing the qualities of a Bodhisattva and how this practice is critical during these troubled times.
