TOPICS DISCUSSED IN TODAY'S SESSION INCLUDE:
- Chapter 8: Meditation (Verses 147 to 173)
In the whole of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, there is no single treatise more deeply revered or widely practiced than A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life. Composed in the eighth century by the Indian Bodhisattva Shantideva, it became an instant classic in the curricula of the Buddhist monastic universities of India, and its renown has grown ever since. Shantideva presents methods to harmonize one's life with the Bodhisattva ideal and inspires the reader to cultivate the perfections of the Bodhisattva: generosity, ethics, patience, zeal, meditative concentration, and wisdom.
In our current Tushita Delhi programme, we go through Shantideva's revered classic Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, which explains how to develop and maintain the extraordinary mind of great compassion, Bodhichitta that aspires to attain the state of complete awakening of Buddhahood in order to benefit and awaken all beings.
We start as usual with motivation and breath awareness meditation.
