Developing Patience: A Buddhist Approach

Topic: Bodhicharayavatara: Guide to Bodhisattva’s Way of Life: Chapter 6 Shantideva

3 – 7 September

with Geshe Ngawang Thekchok

How can we cultivate true forbearance in the face of the adverse situations we experience? How do we balance tolerance and agency in the modern world?

Join Geshe Ngawang Thekchok in this five-day course to explore the timeless Buddhist contemplative practices elucidated by Shantideva in Bodhicharyavatara. Tibetan masters and contemplatives have cited the sixth chapter of Bodhicarayavatara for its particularly effective and practical treatment and instruction on cultivating forbearance.

The great Indian Master Shantideva is fondly referred to by Tibetans as the Great Spiritual Heir of the Buddhas. Tibetans revere this master because of his famous work The Guide to The Boddhisattva’s Way of Life, Bodhicaryavatara, a seminal work that explores the cultivation of the six perfections of an enlightened being in a very humane and relatable manner.
