"After a thorough examination of the 6 Paramitas, we move on to page 2-8 and a discussion of the necessity of dispelling the three obstacles of clinging to negative emotions with the accompanying negative imprints of these negative emotions and the karmic consequences that we have to experience."
"The antidote for these obstacles is to practice wisdom and skillful means together but Shamar Rinpoche says that before we can do this we need two preconditions, the first of which is the Bodhisattva Vow. The precondition for the Bodhisattva Vow is the Refuge Vow. Aside from the important step of taking these vows formally from a qualified preseptor, we need to integrate these vows until they become the driving force behind all our thoughts, words and actions. These two vows together have the potential to clarify and align our motivation to the enlightened motivation of Bodhicitta. Then there is the second precondition, not clinging to the “three spheres.” This is a way of pointing out the three areas we typically fixate on: ourselves, the others, and the action between the two and the necessity of relaxing this fixation. It is a very helpful way to make what is normally unconscious, conscious."
The text of the Samantabadhra Wishing Prayer can be downloaded from the Bodhi Path web site (http://www.bodhipath.org/sangcho_monlam/). Khaydroup will be using the text of Shamar Rinpoche’s commentary, which is available at Amazon and from other sources.

Online Teachings and Discussion with Khenpo Tsering
Dharma Mitra (known as Khenpo Tsering by students around the globe) has returned to California and will teach The Way of the Bodhisattva by Shantideva from beginning to end over the course of several months.
The Way of the Bodhisattva is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment and generating the qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience. This text has been studied and practiced in an unbroken tradition for centuries. We are fortunate for the opportunity to study this classic text with an authentic Buddhist scholar like Khenpo.
Khenpo will teach via ZOOM on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month, with the occasional 5th Sunday added. The link to join the ZOOM meeting is posted under the Sunday Meditation and Discussion heading on our center website and under the Sunday listings of our online calendar. Please contact us at s...@bodhipath.org if you have any questions.
Next date: September 27
Time: We begin with opening wishing prayers and group meditation from 10 to 10:20 AM (PT). All are welcome to join us. Khenpo will join us from 10:30-noon for teaching and discussion. Questions are encouraged and can be asked directly or entered into the chat box.
Donations: These teachings are open to everyone. Registration is not required. A suggested donation of $10 will help support the San Luis Obispo Bodhi Path Buddhist Center and we encourage additional offerings to support Khenpo. Donations can be made online via PayPal. Please indicate in the "NOTES" section of the PayPal payment page how much of your offering is allotted for Khenpo. Thank you!
