Free Buddhism Dharma podcasts The Concise Sadhana of the Bodhisattva Vow By Khenpo Sodargye As Mahayana followers, a great way to repay the kindness of Buddha Shakyamuni is to understand the qualities of bodhicitta and to genuinely engender bodhicitta in one’s mind. Moreover, any historical records about His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche are greatly cherished by his lineage disciples, not to mention the special sadhana of the bodhissttva vow composed by himself. Here, Khenpo Sodargye is taking us to revisit His Holiness’s conferral of the bodhisattva vow by reintroducing the sadhana with a new commentary.
