SUMMARY:Love\, Compassion\, and Bodhichitta
DESCRIPTION:The Special Ngondro: The Meditation of Love\, Compassion\, and Bodhichitta is the 5th practice in the Drikung Ngondro. \nIn his book\, Diamond Rosary\, The Most Venerable Khenchen Gyaltsen Rinpoche said the following about this practice:\n\nThis precious teaching is a powerful way to recognize our own potential and it gives us full confidence to pursue the path.  In our confusion we do not recognize our own home as buddha nature.  We have traveled far away from our basic goodness and suffer greatly in that confusion.\n\nThis practice gives us a method to dispel confusion and return home.  These Dharma teachings especially … bodhicitta\, give us an opportunity to completely reveal our buddha nature that has been hidden by afflicting emotions and negative karma.\n\nAs part of this practice teaching\, Drupon Dorje will also offer the Bodhisattva vow.\n\nFor those interested\, Diamond Rosary will be available for purchase at the teaching.\n\nDates/Times:\nSaturday & Sunday\, November 16 & 17\, 9am-12pm & 2-5pm\n\nSuggested Donation:\n$85 for the weekend.\nLocation:\n1871 N. King Street\nTucson\, Arizona  85749

SUMMARY:The Way of the Bodhisattva
DESCRIPTION:Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra was written 1\,200 years ago by the Great Bodhisattva Shantideva\, a renunciant prince from north India\, translated into the English title as: “The Ways of the Bodhisattvas.”and is highly revered as it shows concisely and comprehensively how to generate bodhicitta and how to conduct oneself like a Bodhisattva. \nThe Way of the Bodhisattva provides a systematic overview of what the Bodhisattvas must study and practice in order to become wise and kind\, and attain enlightenment.\n\nThe Way of the Bodhisattva is one of the great Mahayana texts and most commonly studied and practiced in India and Tibet. This text has more than one hundred commentaries written in India. Since its introduction in Tibet by the 9th century\, more than twenty commentaries were written. When Tibetan Buddhism propagated worldwide\, this text became more widely read and practiced by Buddhist practitioners both in the east and west.\n\nThe text was written in simple language for easy to understand\, yet the contents are profound because they were derived from actual practices. \n\n1871 N.
