A fresh translation and commentary to Tibet’s most famous text on living like a bodhisattva.
Who is a bodhisattva and what do they practice? In the fourteenth century, the Tibetan Buddhist master Gyalse Tokme Zangpo answered these questions in a classic teaching on mind training (lojong) called the Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva.

This text consists of short slogans outlining the core of the Buddhist
path of compassion that continues to inspire modern-day Buddhist
masters, including the Dalai Lama and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. The most well-known commentary to the Thirty-Seven Practices is
by the twentieth-century master Dzatrul Ngawang Tenzin, which is
translated here along with a meditation instruction for the first time.
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, who commissioned this translation, provides an
informative overview to the history of the text and commentary,
introducing the reader to the world of Tibet’s most widely studied text.
