Becoming a Bodhisattva

This course taught by Gen Delek is following the book Meaningful to Behold which is a commentary to the powerful and much-loved poem, Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life by the 8th century Buddhist master, Shantideva.

We are currently studying Chapter 9: the perfection of wisdom and Chapter 10: dedication.
