The Path of the Bodhisattva
With Tergar Instructor Cortland Dahl
Madison, Wisconsin, USA
The bodhisattva ideal is to help all sentient beings become buddhas. This lofty intention lies at the core of Mahayana Buddhism. In this six-week seminar with Tergar instructor Cortland Dahl, we will explore the core teachings of this tradition, learning how we ourselves can emulate the great bodhisattvas of times past by developing the mind of awakening, or bodhichitta, and practicing the six perfections of generosity, discipline, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom.
The course takes place over six Thursdays from 7pm-8:30:
April 24, May 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29, 2014
