SUMMARY:Bodhisattva Vow: Becoming a Friend to the World
DESCRIPTION:Through understanding and practicing Buddha’s teachings 
 on bodhichitta, the mind of enlightenment, we can develop a powerfully
  joyful and loving heart which we can use to heal our own suffering an
 d the suffering of others around us.\nIn this special day course, we w
 ill hear profound but practical teachings on this supremely altruistic
  mind, how to develop it inside in our heart through meditation and da
 ily practice, and how to become a friend to the world who affects ever
 yone they meet in the best possible way.\nFinally, a special Bodhisatt
 va Vow ceremony will be offered in which people will have the opportun
 ity to become a member of the Mahayana Buddhist family, becoming like 
 a son or daughter of Buddha. This vow will ensure the swift attainment
  of enlightenment for whoever takes it. It is said whoever takes the B
 odhisattva Vow and keeps it purely will constantly be creating positiv
 e energy day and night, even while asleep.\nThis day will be based on 
 the book, Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, which is availabl
 e at our bookstore.\nTaught by Resident Teacher, Gen Tenzin.\nSchedul
