The Bodhisattva Path: Courageous Love in Chaotic Times

We’re living in times where many of us rely on spiritual practice to remain grounded in wisdom, compassion, and resilience as we do our best to navigate increasingly trying circumstances. Fortunately, we are in the footsteps of millennia of practitioners before us who have done just that.

Bodhisattvas are courageous beings on a path to everyone’s freedom, as long as it takes. The Bodhisattva teachings empower us to bring everything in life onto the path of awakening, plant seeds for brighter futures, and engage through thick and thin in ultimately liberating ways.
