Altogether on the bodhisattva path, there are ten stages, or bhumis. At each of the ten stages you are loosening up and getting more inspired, because there is less bondage of samsaric confusion or aggression. Jedoch, there is more to the bodhisattva path than purely engaging in peaceful activities or being a ‘goody-goody.’ – Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

A bodhisattva or awakened warrior is someone who is deeply committed to cultivating wisdom and compassion in order to free all beings from suffering. This path is not a hazy ideal that we try to live up to, but a well defined process of unfolding that arises naturally through meditation practice and dedication to others.

As our practice shifts focus from self to other it could be easy to misunderstand the teachings so that the dharma becomes a way of negating our own needs. Therefore the aspiring bodhisattva must nurture the intelligence and gentleness needed to relate to situations whole-heartedly, whilst also taking into account where they are on the path. Gleichzeitig, once one has made the commitment to work for the benefit of others, there will always be opportunities for further opening and further bravery.

Vor dem Hintergrund des komplexen Leids, das wir im 21. Jahrhundert um uns herum sehen, Der Heldenmut erwachter Krieger in der Ausbildung wird mehr denn je benötigt. The Buddhist tradition provides tremendous resources to help us retain poise and kindness amidst the most challenging of situations.

Following on from the first in the series of Mahayana weekends, we will continue to explore tonglen, or sending-and-taking meditation. We will provide some of the wider context and rationale for this much loved practice, as well as encouraging discussion and critical engagement with what it might mean to exchange oneself for others.

This programme will take place in person at the London Shambhala Meditation Centre but can also be attended onlinePlease contact Katrina on [email protected] if you would like to participate remotely.
