I want to again remind you all to take a moment to reflect on your lives. And as you go on, try to concentrate on the following points
Now coming back to where we left off, this seven lifetime old man would once again like to take the opportunity to remind you all to not go astray from practicing the precious dharma.
Coming back to Śāntideva’s Way of the Bodhisattva, it is through diligence that one develops and intensifies bodhichitta. But what is diligence? Why is it so important for one’s practice? Diligence in simple ‘English dictionary’ terms means careful and persistent effort. Hence, it is a careful and persistent effort towards happily performing a virtuous act.
Today my topic is the sixth chapter of The Way of the Bodhisattva, and I would like to talk about the three different levels of patience. The first level of patience is based on an understanding of karma, cause and effect.
Today we’ll be again be looking at the chapter on Vigilant Introspection from The Way of the Bodhisattva by Śāntideva. This chapter implores us to continually undertake careful examination of one’s own mental and emotional process.
Before I continue with Śāntideva’s Bodhisattvacaryavatara: The Way of the Bodhisattva, I would like to share a teaching given to me by my root teacher, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, a great Dzogchen master.
Like in my previous messages, I would like to once again take you away for a moment from your samsaric activities and share with you some of Śāntideva’s words of wisdom.
Like the previous month, I would like to draw your attention once again to the timeless verses of Śāntideva who is of great inspiration to me and hopefully to you in following the compassionate path of the bodhisattvas.
Today being Guru Rinpoche Day, I want to remind you all to practice “bodhicitta”.
