awakening, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sattva<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> which means hero or warrior. The word\u2019s meaning is: one whose goal is to attain awakening for the benefit of all sentient beings.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Composed by Gyals\u00e9 Ngulchu Tokm\u00e9, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thirty Seven Practices of the Bodhisattvas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> teaches us how to train our heart of compassion. In pithy verses, it distills the entire Mahayana journey of awakening. The instructional verses invite us to face the upsetting circumstances in the environment around us and within our own minds; offering us a way of seeing and approaching these hardships differently\u2014transforming them into the practice of loving kindness and compassion.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIts title in Tibetan is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Thirty-seven Practices of a Bodhisattva: a Summary of the Heart Essence of a Bodhisattva&#8217;s Conduct<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This full title indicates two points: first that the text condenses all the Mahayana sutras, which teach the conduct of a Bodhisattva; and second, that it summarizes the heart essence of a Bodhisattva&#8217;s conduct, of which there are thirty-seven main practices. In Tibetan, the word for \u2018practice\u2019 literally translates as \u2018to bring into experience.\u2019 So, 37 practices can actually be brought into experience.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">~\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Khenpo Ts\u00fcltrim Gyamtso Rinpoche<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3f1fe6a\" data-id=\"3f1fe6a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84496b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"84496b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"803\" src=\"https:\/\/nalandabodhi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bodhisattva-licence-free_11zon-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-49821\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nalandabodhi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bodhisattva-licence-free_11zon-1-scaled.jpg 1674w, https:\/\/nalandabodhi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bodhisattva-licence-free_11zon-1-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/nalandabodhi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bodhisattva-licence-free_11zon-1-670x1024.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53cae5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53cae5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Those who wish to learn more about the\u00a0<i>Thirty-seven Practices of a Bodhisattva<\/i>\u00a0may download an eBook of Khenpo Ts\u00fcltrim Gyamtso Rinpoche\u2019s commentary\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dharmaebooks.org\/thirty-seven-practices-bodhisattva\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hier.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66fa936 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"66fa936\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3><b><i>Power of recitation<\/i><\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cReciting the words of the enlightened buddhas and bodhisattvas carries with it immense blessing and power of aspiration.
