<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In our day-to-day life situations, we are presented with all kinds of challenges. When we look outside, we find dire situations everywhere in the world affecting people, animals, and our environment. And when we look inside, we find the ups and downs of our physical, mental, and emotional experiences that fluctuate as unpredictably as the stock market. In the midst of all the chaos, it seems difficult to find a peaceful spot or kindness for each other in our lives. The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva presents an alternative way of thinking, of relating to the outer and inner worlds of everyday living. It is a refreshing, revolutionary and radical approach to a life that is worth exploring"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>A fresh translation and commentary to Tibet's most famous text on living like a bodhisattva</b></b> <p/>Who are bodhisattvas and what do they practice?
