Description

Pema Chdrn’s Teachings on The Way of the BodhisattvaA bodhisattva is one who seeks liberation from suffering not only for oneself, but for all beings. If you were a bodhisattva, how would you respond in the face of chaos and difficulty Is it possible to find calm in the middle of a storm On Bodhisattva Mind, Pema Chdrn explores timeless insights and practices from the teachings of an eighth-century Buddhist classic, Shantidevas The Way of the Bodhisattva, to reveal a powerful core truth that can move us all closer to the bodhisattva ideal. An Unlikely Voice on Living a Virtuous LifeIn the eyes of his fellow Indian scholars, Shantideva seemed lazy and uninterested in his studies and was greatly resented. So they invited the young “”slacker”” to give a prestigious talk – an honor reserved for only the most realized Buddhist Masters – hoping to humiliate him and force him to leave the school. Instead, he delivered the timeless jewel known today as The Way of the Bodhisattva. Paradoxically, the key to true liberation, he taught, is in taming the mind. Like a wild elephant, the distracted mind causes emotions to escalate. But if the mind is trained to be steady and open, no matter what comes at you, you will remain solid in the immediacy of your experience. On Bodhisattva Mind, Pema Chdrn leads you through an all-new series of practices inspired by Shantideva to help you “”tether”” your thoughts and emotions – not as a limiting force – but as a means to restore yourself in the freedom of the present moment. Experience the Spaciousness Available in Every Moment: “”If we approach the wildness of our mind like a horse whisperer – using gentleness, compassion, and kindness – we return to our natural state of expansiveness that is always available to us,”” says Pema Chdrn

More information about Lifestyle:

Lifestyle is the interests, opinions, behaviours, and behavioural orientations of an individual, group, or culture.
The term was introduced by Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler with the meaning of “a person’s basic character as established early in childhood”.
For example, in his 1929 book “The Case of Miss R.”. The broader sense of lifestyle as a “way or style of living” has been documented since 1961.
Lifestyle is a combination of determining intangible or tangible factors.
Tangible factors relate specifically to demographic variables, i.e. an individual’s demographic profile,
whereas intangible factors concern the psychological aspects of an individual such as personal values, preferences, and outlooks.

A rural environment has different lifestyles compared to an urban metropolis.
Location is important even within an urban scope.
The nature of the neighborhood in which a person resides affects the set of lifestyles available
to that person due to differences between various neighborhoods’ degrees of affluence and proximity to natural and cultural environments.
For example, in areas near the sea, a surf culture or lifestyle can often be present.
