The Way of the Bodhisattva L38 The main speaker of this session is Khenpo Sodargye True wisdom means believing in past and future lives
In this teaching on the fourth chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara, Khenpo Sodargye explains the critical importance of never abandoning the bodhicitta vow once it has been taken. He discusses how personal character and success in spiritual practice depend on one's ability to maintain commitments despite difficulties. Khenpo warns of the severe karmic consequences of giving up bodhicitta, which lead to descent into lower realms. Furthermore, he emphasizes that even the buddhas' infinite compassion cannot liberate those who lack the necessary karmic disposition, faith, and personal effort. The teaching concludes by highlighting the extreme rarity of attaining a precious human body, meeting authentic teachers, and giving rise to bodhicitta, urging practitioners to fully utilize this fleeting opportunity rather than squandering it on worldly pursuits.
