Hear from Peter, Prajnasri and Amalasiddhi about their personal favourite verses from the Bodhicaryavatara.

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.
