Whereas the previous volume, In Praise of Great Compassion, focused on opening our hearts with love and compassion for all living beings, the present volume explains how to embody compassion and wisdom in our daily lives. Here we enter a fascinating exploration of bodhisattvas’ activities across multiple Buddhist traditions—Tibetan, Theravada, and Chinese Buddhism. After explaining the ten perfections, the sophisticated schema of the four paths and fruits for sravakas and solitary realizers and the five paths for bodhisattvas is presented. Learning about the practices mastered by these exalted practitioners inspires us with knowledge of our minds’ potential.
