The Path of the Bodhisattva

Are you looking for ways to open your heart and live with more presence and compassion? Join Tibetan teacher Namchak Khen Rinpoche for an immersive exploration of practical, time-honored principles of the Path of the Bodhisattva that, when practiced, have the potential to transform your life.

As we navigate our mountain of daily decisions, we can use The Path of the Bodhisattva as a guide for all of our interactions. Whatever actions we take or words we say, whether gentle or firm, can come from wisdom and compassion for our fellow human beings. If we all did that, imagine how the world would be!

Through his wise and warm teaching style, Tibetan scholar and master teacher Khen Rinpoche will cover all of the basic principles of Mahayana Buddhism, such as emptiness, compassion, the Six Perfections, bodhicitta, and Buddhahood.

Students will gain insight and understanding of:
- The ground: Ultimate and relative truth
- The path: Merit and wisdom
- The result: The two kayas
