Resisting disturbing emotions, they learn to respond to difficult situations in a constructive way. Fully understanding the nature of reality and the illusion-like nature of pleasure and pain, they overcome clinging attachment and aversion. In these ways, Bodhisattvas come to cherish living beings as the source of all happiness and are ultimately able to work solely for the good of all. Gyelsay Togmay Sangpo wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas\u003c\/i\u003e in the fourteenth century. His succinct and simple verses of advice summarize the quintessence of the Mahayana path to perfection. Geshe Sonam Rinchen's oral teachings elucidate these practices for the modern reader and show how we can transform our actions, feelings, and ways of thinking to become Bodhisattvas ourselves.\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 10\/31\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781559390682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.54w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/24\/1997 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/1997 pg. 99\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Geshe Sonam Rinchen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51911692943541,"sku":"9781559390682","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c95d6cea-acfc-46fc-b760-e12e46e2ec0f.jpg?v=1761057341","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-thirty-seven-practices-of-bodhisattvas-an-oral-teaching-9781559390682","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
