Infinite Compassion, Endless Wisdom introduces us to the many Buddhist practitioners who have, for centuries, selflessly labored for the benefit of others. These men and women are bodhisattvas: people who work not only for their own enlightenment and self-improvement, but have vowed to lead all beings down the path to liberation as well. From the great bodhisattvas that adorn shrine rooms whose lives are confined to myth and legend, to those Buddhist masters who shaped the religion we know today, Infinite Compassion, Endless Wisdom shares their lives, their teachings, and their practice.
