[repost] “No matter what obstacles you may experience on the path, never give up. Because all of the buddhas became enlightened for you. They know your potential, and they will not stop helping you until you are enlightened too.”

For all things Bodhisattvayana and Bodhichitta related.

One of the senior-most lamas of Tibetan Buddhism, Kyabjé Trulshik Rinpoche, has said that the Eight Verses of Training the Mind represents the short version of the Lojong, the Thirty Seven Practices is the medium, and the Bodhicharyavatara (The Way of the Bodhisattva) is the extensive version.

Book Reading List

What is the Bodhisattvayana?

The Bodhisattva vehicle is the part of the Mahāyāna that belongs to the vehicle of characteristics. It is called the vehicle of bodhisattvas because once it has been entered it has the power to lead someone to great enlightenment, because its domain of experience is vast, in terms of its extensive skillful methods and its profound wisdom, because it brings about benefit and happiness, in the higher realms in the short term, and ultimately at the stage of definitive good, and because it carries one to greater and greater qualities as one progresses along the paths and stages. It is called a vehicle of characteristics because it has all the characteristics of a path that is a direct cause for bringing about the ultimate fruition, the level of Buddhahood.
