DESCRIPTION:Becoming a Spiritual Warrior: The Pledges of a Bodhisattva \nBeing a Bodhisattva is such a powerful idea that the word itself has in recent years become synonymous with acts of kindness and generosity. Yet many aren’t aware of what Bodhisattva truly means.  We’ll explore why a Bodhisattva is a Spiritual Warrior\, and learn the vows that become a powerful method to become a Bodhisattvas and to create a kinder world. \nThis Course is based upon Master Asanga’s root text and its commentary called the Highway for Bodhisattvas (Jangchub Shunglam) by Je Tsongkapa.\nTopics include: what is a bodhisattva\, the definition and types of bodhichitta\, types of morality\, types of vows\, how bodhisattva vows are taken\, an explanation of the eighteen root bodhisattva vows and forty-six secondary bodhisattva vows\, the four factors needed to break bodhisattva root vows\, how bodhisattva vows are broken\, how bodhisattva vows are lost\, how to keep your bodhisattva vows\, how to restore your bodhisattva vows\, and the benefits of keeping bodhisattva vows. \nONLINE Course Taught by Lama Amie Diller and Jay Nair\n6 weeks from March 19 – April 30th\nTuesdays\, 6:30 pm -8 pm  \nFIRST WEEK HYBRID\, in person at:\nDiamond Light Tibetan Meditation Center\n2791 24th Street\, Room 14\nSacramento CA 95826\nonline also available\nRest of the course ONLINE \nZoom Meeting ID: 224-735-8115\nPasscode: 1234\nZoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2247358115\nwww.diamondlightsac.org/donate or “Diamond Light” on Venmo. \nSuggested donation: $10-$20 to cover expenses\, which include ongoing rent for our Center\, fees to provide online services and supporting our teachers.
