with Mushim
Open to all aspiring or curious bodhisattvas
“Samsara is burning down all of our houses. We need a path of radical transformation… and the Bodhisattva path is it.” – Mushim, in “I Vow Not to Burn Out,” Buddhadharma magazine, Fall 2016.
“Beings are numberless; I vow to save them all,” is one of the Great Vows of the Bodhisattva. How can we save all beings, ourselves included, from suffering? The Bodhisattva ideal, prominent in Mahayana (Great Way) Buddhism, is manifested through the deeply compassionate fulfillment of the Bodhisattva Vow. Curious? Meditation (instructions provided for beginners), Dharma talks, interactive exercises, discussion.
