As an overview of the Mahayana path, Ringu Tulku will discuss a short
but seminal work called "The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva." It
was written by Ngulchu Thogme, a highly acclaimed scholar and saint, who was
known as a genuine bodhisattva because he truly practiced what he taught.
This text is a poetic condensation of Shantideva's "Bodhicharyavatara,"
or "The Way of a Bodhisattva." Rinpoche's center, Summit Dharma Center, takes its
name from this way of cultivating the compassion and wisdom of a
bodhisattva. A bodhisattva is someone who thinks, "I would like to attain
the highest state of lasting peace and happiness, and I will do so for
myself and all sentient beings."
In this program Ringu Tulku will transmit
the advice of Ngulchu Thogme on how we can actualize these aspirations in
our practice and daily life.
An optional text, "The Thirty Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas" by Geshe Sonam Rinchen, may be purchased at Snow Lion Publications
