Description: Mahayana Buddhism finds the incarnation of its ideal in the Bodhisattva as the one who devotes his or her life to attain Awakening in order to liberate all beings from suffering. The first step on the path of this altruistic ideal is to "take the Bodhisattva vow."
In this work, Bokar Rinpoche give us a clear presentation of the Bodhisattva vow, its nature, and its implications. We learn of aspiring and realizing Bodhicitta (mind of Awakening) and of the various stages of the Bodhisattvas and their activity. Bokar Rinpoche explains how to take the vow, the commitments, the precepts, and how to purify ourselves if we break the Bodhisattva vow.
