Modern Day Bodhisattva 2010: How to Live and Die Peacefully and Joyfully

Dzigar Kongtrül III

5/5 ( ratings)

The essential foundation of Mahayana is the path of the bodhisattva, who is dedicated to achieving enlightenment not for oneself, but for the benefit and liberation of all sentient beings. This is not the task of a single lifetime, but rather an unceasing pursuit through many, many lifetimes of devotion to this abiding aspiration. Throughout the four talks in this volume, Venerable Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche offers unique insights into the depth and everyday practicality of the bodhisattva’s viewpoint. Suggesting specific practices and details from the wealth of the Mahayana tradition, Kongtrul Rinpoche most importantly brings these teachings into a modern relevance. During this program in 2010, he inaugurated his vision for the “Modern Day Bodhisattva,” an attitude of practice and perspective that renews traditional Dharma teachings into a present-day context. Here we have a modern Buddhist master presenting inward strategies and techniques that guide us closer toward the timeless objective of living and dying with peace, joy, and dignity.
