Bodhisattva Attitude: How to Dedicate Your Life to Others

Bodhisattva Attitude: How to Dedicate Your Life to Others (Heart Advice Series Book 1)

This book comprises several motivations taught by Lama Zopa Rinpoche called â€œbodhicitta motivations for life,â€ intended for us to use first thing every morning to generate the mind of bodhicitta and dedicate our life to numberless sentient beings. The Bodhisattva Attitude is taken from the sutra teachings of the Buddha and is based on verses by the great bodhisattva Shantideva in his Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life.

The verses are meant to be recited each morning to remind us of how we are going to dedicate our lives to others. We all understand the importance of motivation and attitude and how they affect the quality of our work and the result that can be achieved. Rinpoche particularly emphasizes the need for us to have a very clear direction and purpose for life. The real meaning of our lives is to bring both temporary and ultimate happiness to all sentient beings and to do this we need to achieve enlightenment. Enlightenment depends on first generating bodhicitta and training our minds in the bodhisattva attitude enables us to do that.

Heart Advice is a series of core teachingsâ€”the "heart advice"â€”taken from the experiential teachings of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. The main resource is Rinpocheâ€™s major retreats, commentaries and transmissions since 2008, although other Archive materials supplement these. The goal is to preserve and make available Rinpocheâ€™s unique style and lineage of teachings and practices.
