Dive deep into perseverance, one of the core practices of the bodhisattvas, with beloved teacher Lama Zopa Rinpoche as a guide.Awakening depends on fortitude;because, without fortitude there is no merit,as there is no movement without wind.Shantideva, Guide to the Bodhisattvas Way of LifePerseverance, or virya, is also translated as energy, fortitude, or vigor. One of the six perfections, or paramitas, it is one of the trainings of the bodhisattvas and a deeply necessary quality for the Buddhist path. But its far from the kind of headdown, stubborn determination the name could imply; instead, its joyful energy that enables us to practice.Rinpoches commentary is structured around the fifth and seventh chapters of the beloved Guide to the Bodhisattvas Way of Life by the eighthcentury philosopherpoet Shantideva. Interweaving his teaching with Shantidevas verses, Rinpoche elucidates this prerequisite for enlightenment, explaining what it is and how to cultivate it: guard your mind, gather virtue, work for othersand find incredible joy in these things.When we have perseverance, we will have no obstacles, which means obstacles to any happiness, especially to ultimate happiness, the freedom from the oceans of samsaric suffering, and most importantly to peerless happiness, the state of the omniscience that is enlightenment.Lama Zopa Rinpoche
