Essence of Mahayana: The Way of the Bodhisattva
A WMC advanced-level course based on The Bodhicaryavatara by Shantideva
Students are encouraged to obtain a copy of Pema Chodron’s Becoming Bodhisattvas: A Guidebook for Compassionate Action, which was also published as No Time to Lose: A Timely Guide to the Way of the Bodhisattva in earlier editions. Either will do.
The text presents the highest ideal of the Mahayana tradition, the life of a bodhisattva; beginning with the recognition of the great potential within each of us, and outlining the cultivation of confidence, joyfulness and compassion. Together we will closely follow Shantideva's verses, along with Pema Chodron's expert commentary, which makes accessible the richness of this guide to Bodhisattva path. Practical meditation exercises enrich the text.
We are committed to making our programs affordable to all, and we endeavor to set the course fee at a rate that covers necessary expenses. We rely on donations to cover additional program costs. Please consider offering an additional amount to offset program expenses. Thank you for your contribution.
Those with limited income please note the student/fixed income option.
