I just received teachings with the Dalai Lama last week on the topic,
I'm going to start a series on Shantideva's Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way
of Life. This is one of the Dalai Lama's central teachings. As he says, "If
I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of the bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text that I possess it."
Meeting and transmuting the hindrances requires appropriate attention, knowing how one is affected. Referring to where body and mind meet as a base for investigation, come to know what starves the hindrances and what feeds the enlightenment factors.
