Lama Zopa Rinpoche, one of the great living masters of Tibetan Buddhism, guides us through one of the core practices of the bodhisattvas, using a classic, revered text as a guide. The sixth chapter of Shantidevas classic A Guide to the Bodhisattvas Way of Life is a beacon of inspiration that shows what patienceone of the essential actions of the bodhisattvascan really mean, leading us to profound self-realization and a heightened determination for awakened action in the world. Lama Zopa Rinpochea teacher whose very name means patienceexplores Shantidevas teachings verse by verse, unpacking its lessons for the modern reader: Overcoming anger Accepting suffering Respecting others and finding happiness in their happiness In explaining this quintessential quality of a bodhisattva, Rinpoche shows us ordinary beings the profundity of the practice of patience and the relevance it has in our everyday lives. Often in the West we think that patience is passive aggression: waiting for that horrible thing to go away. Lama Zopa Rinpoche shows us in great detail how to cultivate actual patience, the practice of the bodhisattva: wholeheartedly welcoming the problems. Why should we do that? Because patience puts an atomic bomb under the toxic emotions of attachment and anger, helping us break down the barriers between self and other, and making us fearless in our efforts to never give up alleviating the suffering of beings. Rinpoches powerfully experiential teachings give us the confidence to know that we can do it, too.Ven. Robina Courtin
