A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life

We continue from the summer programme with Shantideva's Bodhicaryavatara. This text serves both as a guide to practice and as an expression of the aspiration to benefit all sentient beings. Written in the early eighth century, Shantideva's observations and advice can be as helpful today as they were then. Selected readings from his text will be presented with a short discourse, followed by discussion and dialogue where there is ample time for questions and answers.
