In the book The Bodhisattva Vow, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso explains exquisite and rare guidelines for living a purposeful life in a busy and hectic world. By applying these powerful methods Buddha taught for leading a life based in compassion and wisdom, we can help our family, neighborhood, and world find real happiness and a better quality of life. Through applying these accessible and practical techniques to our daily life, we can transform ourselves into something extraordinary. We become a Bodhisattva, or a friend of the world. “It is said that there exists a magic crystal that has the power to purify any liquid into which it is placed.

Whatever habit or routine we introduce into our life, there are periods where we can lose momentum and feel like we are dragging our feet to keep it going. Meditation practice requires steady effort, like a broad-flowing river. If we approach it like a crashing waterfall that follows a sudden storm, our practice will dry up and we will give up altogether.
