Living the Bodhisattva Path:
Wisdom in Action for a Troubled World
with Venerable Losang Gendun
How can we live with clarity and compassion in a world full of division and uncertainty?
How can we protect our practice without closing our hearts?
This four-part teaching series on the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva invites us into the living heart of the Mahāyāna path—where inner cultivation becomes outward expression. Far from abstract ideals, these timeless verses offer practical, piercing guidance for being in the world without being consumed by it.
We will explore how to nurture a caring mind that transcends partisanship, how to face conflict without collapsing into reactivity, and how to stay steady in our vision of long-term healing and bridge building. The teachings culminate in a three-day urban retreat: Living the Bodhisattva Path: Wisdom in Action for a Troubled World at Tibet House US, deepening our integration of these practices through reflection, meditation, and community.

This is an invitation to join a time-transcending fellowship of world-caregivers. For meditators, and anyone longing to meet the world with more courage and care, these teachings offer an enduring light.
