This course is based on the 8th century poem “Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life” by Shantideva, a famous and universally loved poem for daily living that has inspired many generations of Buddhists and non-Buddhists since it was first composed. 

This poem invokes special positive states of mind, moves us from suffering and conflict to happiness and peace, and gradually introduces us to the entire Mahayana Buddhist path to enlightenment.

Everyone is welcome. $15 for non-members.
