Beschrijving

This work compiles the commentaries given over the past twenty years by Venerable Dagpo Lama Rinpoche on the core topic within Mahayana, the bodhisattva vows. Taking the vows implies committing ourselves to a method of personal growth that is prompted by a concern for others’ welfare and leads us to enlightenment. The method itself involves progressively training in the triple bodhisattva ethic — by first giving up bad behaviour, then learning to do good and finally, helping others. The author’s clear and inspiring explanation renders bodhisattva practice accessible to all and provides invaluable advice for those who aspire to live happier and more meaningful lives — Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
