Shantideva's Commitment Chapter

[Janet Gilmore]

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well. I'm sending out the text that we recited last Sunday. It's Chapter 3 from Shantideva's The Way of the Bodhisattva.  We'll be reciting it at the beginning of each of the series of talks I'm giving on Bodhichitta and on Shantideva's classic text.  My source is the Padmakara translation of The Way of the Bodhisattva.  It is my favorite of the ones I've read. I find it easy to read and understand and beautifully poetic at the same time. 

Someone asked about where this translation is from.  It was from our daily practice manual that Anam Thubten gave us many years ago.  

Looking forward to seeing you all next Sunday in person or on zoom Morning Meditations and Book Study.

with love and gratitude,

Janet
