Shantideva’s The Bodhisattva Way of Life (the Bodhicaryāvatāra) has been the primary source of literature on the cultivation of compassion and spiritual awakening. For those aspiring to walk the bodhisattva path, The Bodhisattva Way of Life is not merely a text for the intellect; one can also use the verses as meditation guidance. During this weekend, Ven. René Feusi will guide us carefully, using his own beautifully written meditation manual based on the Bodhicaryāvatāra.
