Meaningful to Behold: The Bodhisattva's Way of Life

Meaningful to Behold: The Bodhisattva's Way of Life

by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso (Author)

Synopsis

A Bodhisattva is someone who has resolved to liberate all living beings from suffering by fulfilling his or her full spiritual potential. Many people have the compassionate wish to benefit others, but few understand how to make this wish effective in their daily life. In this highly acclaimed explanation of the great Buddhist classic, 'Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life', Geshe Kelsang shows how we can develop and maintain the supremely compassionate motivation of a Bodhisattva, and how we can then engage in the actual practices that provide the greatest benefit to others and lead to the attainment of full enlightenment.
