Becoming Bodhisattvas: A Guidebook for Compassionate Action

Becoming Bodhisattvas: A Guidebook for Compassionate Action

Best-selling American Buddhist nun Pema ChÃ¶drÃ¶n presents a friendly and encouraging guide to spiritual practice for all those who want to take up the path of the bodhisattva--one who aspires to live life with courage, generosity, patience, fearlessness, and compassion.

The Way of the Bodhisattva has long been treasured as an indispensable guide to enlightened living, offering a window into the greatest potential within us all. Written in the eighth century by the scholar and saint Shantideva, it presents a comprehensive view of the Mahayana Buddhist traditionâ€™s highest idealâ€”to commit oneself to the life of a bodhisattva warrior, a person who is wholeheartedly dedicated to the freedom and common good of all beings. And it has inspired many of the traditionâ€™s greatest teachers, providing a remarkable source of insight on the means by which we may heal ourselves and our troubled world. These essential teachings present the core of the Buddhist path, from cultivating deep-seated confidence to infusing oneâ€™s life with selflessness, joyfulness, kindness, and compassion. Pema ChÃ¶drÃ¶n here invites you to journey more deeply into this liberating way of life, presenting Shantidevaâ€™s text verse-by-verse and offering both illuminating stories and practical exercises to enrich the text and bring its timeless teachings to life in our world today.
