Bodhisattva Path (March)

The bodhicitta is much more like a sort of higher power – the power of Enlightenment, if you like – which works through you when you are open and receptive. It’s not ‘yours’ in the ordinary sense – not your thought, your idea, your will. In a sense – though even this can be misunderstood – it’s something that takes you over when you are sufficiently ready for that or sufficiently open to that and which as it were works through you: this is the bodhicitta.” - Sangharakshita, Endlessly Fascinating Cry

How can we create the conditions for the bodhicitta to arise, in ourselves and in the Order?  On this retreat we will look at not only the beauty of the bodhisattva ideal, but also the realities of what we are working with to enable the bodhisattva to manifest individually and collectively.  How can we become part of, what Sangharakshita calls, a ‘supra-personal force’ for goodness in the world?
