About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of a Bodhisattva in Buddhism and the commitment to achieving happiness and wisdom for the benefit of all beings.

Imagine a person who wants to become happy and wise. But this person makes a very special promise. They say, "I will not become happy if it is only for myself. I will work to become happy and wise so that I can help every other person, and every living thing, to also become happy and wise." This person is called a Bodhisattva. This idea is a very important part of Buddhism. This is not just a traditional teaching, it is extremely relevant today also. Find my Paperback, Kindle and Audio Books here .
