Meditation for All: The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva

Please join KC16 on Sundays for a new Meditation for All series on The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva.

Beginning November 17, our resident teacher, Acharya Lhakpa Tshering, will start teaching on The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva during our Sunday Meditation for All program.

A life worth exploring

This text is written by the great master Ngülchu Thogme Zangpo and, as Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche writes in A Guide to the Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva (a commentary by Dzatrul Ngawang Tenzin Norbu, translated by Christopher Stagg):

The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva presents an alternative way of thinking, of relating to the outer and inner worlds of everyday living. It is a refreshing, revolutionary, and radical approach to a life that is worth exploring.
— Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, foreword
