The Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas (2) with Gen Don Handrick

The Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas was composed in the fourteenth century by the great sage Togme Sangpo and is one of Tibetan Buddhism’s most treasured texts. Recognizing their true potential and letting go of everything that could hinder them on their spiritual journey, bodhisattvas entrust themselves to the Mahayana path taught by the Buddha. The simple verses in this brief text summarize that path to perfection, providing a wonderful and lucid explanation of how each of us can engage in the practices of bodhisattvas, coming to cherish living beings as the source of all happiness and ultimately being able to work solely for the welfare of all.
