Public Talk "The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva - 5th Practice"
by Geshe Ngawang Phende |
7:00 pm
|
37 practical instructions by 14th-century Bodhisattva Togme Zangpo for living the bodhisattva path by transforming daily actions into opportunities for enlightenment. Rooted in Lam Rim and Lojong, it's short enough to memorize, profound enough for a lifetime. 5) The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to avoid destructive friends, In whose company the three poisons of the mind grow stronger, And we engage less and less in study, reflection and meditation, So that love and compassion fade away until they are no more. |

37 practical instructions by 14th-century Bodhisattva Togme Zangpo for living the bodhisattva path by transforming daily actions into opportunities for enlightenment. Rooted in Lam Rim and Lojong, it's short enough to memorize, profound enough for a lifetime. 7) The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to take refuge in the Three Jewels, Since they will never fail to provide protection for all who call upon them, For whom are the ordinary gods of this world ever capable of helping, As long as they themselves are trapped within samsara’s vicious cycle?. |
