“The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva” is a classic Tibetan Buddhist text on mind training (lojong) that offers guidance on the path to enlightenment with a focus on cultivating the mind of a bodhisattva. A bodhisattva is someone who has generated the altruistic, heroic intention (bodhichitta) to attain Buddhahood in order to benefit all sentient beings.
About the Teacher
Geshe Thubten Sherab was born in 1967 in a small village in the province of Manang, the western part of Nepal, to a Kagyu-Nyingma family. He entered Kopan Monastery at the age of nine and completed his geshe studies at Sera Jey monastery in South India, followed by a year at Gyumed Tantric College. He then completed retreat and teaching assignments in the United States and Asia. Since then, Geshe Sherab served the Foundation for Preservation of Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) in several roles. For the last few years, Geshe-la has been traveling and teaching at FPMT centers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Asia, and Europe, while also serving as resident teacher at Thubten Norbu Ling in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
