Ratnaguna gives the seventh talk in the Sev­en­fold Puja series at Manchester Buddhist Centre, on Entreaty and Supplication, 1st March 2010. He includes a summary of the structure of the Puja.

The Sevenfold Puja is used as a collective devotional practice and derives from a Mahayana Buddhist text by Shantideva called the Bodhicaryavatara – a kind of manual for aspiring Bodhisattvas. It takes one through seven spiritual moods ultimately designed to arouse the Bodhicitta, the will to Enlightenment.
