2025 Recitation Day- Shantideva Text
Saturday 31st May 2025 ~ 9am - 12pm
Creating the causes for developing immeasurable love, compassion and wisdom by reciting The Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life with Geshe Doga, Geshe Lobsang Dorjee, Geshe Jangchod and the Tara Institute community.
“As long as space remains, As long as transmigratory beings remain, Until then may I too remain, To dispel the suffering of transmigratory beings”.
In this text Shantideva shares with us in great detail how to transform every conceivable suffering mind state into the mind of enlightenment. These heart teachings are as relevant today as when they were composed by Shantideva in the 8th century. It is said that to do spiritual practice together creates the cause for harmony in our lives. Everybody is encouraged to come along and enjoy this virtuous activity and accumulate enormous merit in the merit multiplying auspicious Saka Dawa month.
