The Bodhisattva Ideal by Bikshu Sangharakshita
The Bodhisattva's life exemplifies the resolution of the conflict between our own desires and the needs of others. Sustained by a deep understanding gained through meditation and reflection, the Bodhisattva works tirelessly for the benefit of all. The development of inner calm and positivity that leads to true wisdom is balanced by an active and genuine concern for others which flowers into great compassion. In this book, Sangharakshita places the ideal of the Bodhisattva within the context of the entire Buddhist tradition, demonstrating how we can engage with that vision and make our lives worthwhile.
A respected translator and author of over fifty books, Sangharakshita began studying BUddhism at the age of 16. After 20 years studying in India he returned to England and set up the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order which has over 65 centres worldwide, including the USA.
