Written in the eighth century by the scholar and saint Shantideva, it presents a comprehensive view of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition's highest ideal--to commit oneself to the life of a bodhisattva warrior, a person who is wholeheartedly dedicated to the freedom and common good of all beings. And it has inspired many of the tradition's greatest teachers, providing a remarkable source of insight on the means by which we may heal ourselves and our troubled world. These essential teachings present the core of the Buddhist path, from cultivating deep-seated confidence to infusing one's life with selflessness, joyfulness, kindness, and compassion. Pema Ch dr n here invites you to journey more deeply into this liberating way of life, presenting Shantideva's text verse-by-verse and offering both illuminating stories and practical exercises to enrich the text and bring its timeless teachings to life in our world today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePreviously published under the title \u003ci\u003eNo Time to Lose\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611806328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.50d","brand":"Pema Ch\u0026#246;dr\u0026#246;n","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661998583964,"sku":"9781611806328","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ee716486-3b8e-4caa-abd8-3de6b45fa16e.jpg?v=1603900798","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/becoming-bodhisattvas-a-guidebook-for-compassionate-action-9781611806328","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
