Abstract

"The sixth chapter of Shantideva's A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life is an inspiring call to arms that shows what patience-one of the actions of the bodhisattvas-can really mean, challenging the reader to great depths of self-reflection and to great heights of action in the world. Lama Zopa Rinpoche-a teacher whose very name means "patience"-explores Shantideva's teachings verse by verse, unpacking its lessons for the modern reader: Overcoming anger Accepting suffering Respecting others and finding happiness in their happiness In this guide, Rinpoche shows how this practice of holy beings is real and relevant for us ordinary people in our ordinary lives"--
