Hear from Peter, Prajnasri and Amalasiddhi about their personal favourite verses from the Bodhicaryavatara. Peter talks about bringing patience to bear on his experience of the world, transforming ill-will into energy for the good. Prajnasri shares her experience of facing intense anger and blame using ksanti. Amalasiddhi tells of his connection with the myth of Avalokitesvara and how surrendering into something bigger has been his path to growth. Part 7 in the 'Path to Awakening' Sangha night series at Sheffield Buddhist Centre. The condensed Bodhicaryavatara is available on the Sangha Night section of the website at the time this talk was uploaded. Are there any verses which stand out for you?
