The weekend teaching by Stephan Pende will be based on the text “The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva”.
“The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva” was written by the 10th century Tibetan master Tokme Zongpo. It is one of the most revered texts in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It describes the practices and attitudes of the awakening rebel who wants to heal, grow up and wake up for the benefit of all.
Finding an authentic way to relate to traditional Buddhist practices and texts can be difficult for us in the west. The texts are incredibly powerful, but being from a different cultural context from where the practices originated, makes it difficult to move beyond intellectual understanding and perfunctory repetition towards allowing them to touch our hearts and transform our lives as they are meant to.
For those who are on the Buddhist path, finding ways to work authentically and intimately with practices and texts is very important otherwise much of our study and practice can remain disappointingly superficial. In this course, we will explore how to bring the wisdom of this text into our lives and relationships.
The teaching will be given in English and are suitable for beginners and experienced students. A delicious nutritious vegan lunch will be served.
