(Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley) I just received teachings with the Dalai Lama last week on the topic,

I'm going to start a series on Shantideva's Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way

of Life. This is one of the Dalai Lama's central teachings. As he says, "If

I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of the bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text that I possess it."
