The Bodhisattva Ideal – Bridging Heaven and Earth

The Bodhisattva Ideal – Bridging Heaven and Earth - by Malik Tillman
Explore the Bodhisattva as an exemplar of an ideal — the human being as a bridge between heaven and earth, with one foot in the divine and the other in the material world. Examine the deep tension between the impulse to withdraw into the heights of enlightenment, nirvana, and the call to return, bringing that light back down and embodying it in the world. Finally, we will glimpse how this same theme — the union of transcendence and action — has appeared across cultures throughout history. Malik will be sharing his experience from the Manor Retreat.
