This is the second year of a multi-year study and retreat program to train (aspiring) bodhisattvas. Although we already started in 2019, you can still join as a listener since it is never too late to study the Dharma.
In Mahayana Buddhism, the deep desire to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings is the foundation of all practice. This is especially true for all Vajrayana practitioners. Anyone who cultivates this mental attitude, also called bodhicitta, and courageously advances on the path to enlightenment, is a bodhisattva. Unfortunately, the special meditation and visualization techniques for generating bodhicitta are often neglected, though they are the backbone of any practice. Only with bodhicitta can we walk the path of a Bodhisattva and free both others and ourselves from all suffering. For this purpose, we started this project with an intensive study of the great masterpiece "Bodhisattvacaryavatara" ("The Way of the Bodhisattva") under Do Tulku Rinpoche's guidance. It is Rinpoche's wish not only to support practitioners on their journey but also to train teachers who in turn can inspire and train future bodhisattvas.
This course includes two to three video teachings per month and is accessible through our private Facebook group or our blog. With a prior announcement, there will also be live sessions for discussions and online events as well as ts on-person retreats. The course language is English.
