Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bodhisattva Vows are the core of the Mahayana Buddhist path. This unique book compiles the detailed commentaries given over many years by Dagpo Rinpoché as well as a translation of the root texts. Rinpoché's clear, practical, and inspiring explanation makes bodhisattva practice accessible to everyone, and provides invaluable advice for those who want to live happier and more meaningful lives, whether they are Buddhists or not. Taking the vows implies a commitment to personal growth, driven by concern for others' welfare, and leads us gradually to enlightenment. The method involves progressively training in the triple bodhisattva ethic: first giving up harmful behaviour, then learning to do good, and finally helping others. In keeping with Buddhist precepts, this work is made available at cost price; any proceeds will be used to publish other Dharma books.
