James received teachings from the Dalai Lama in July 2008. This series is based on Shantideva’s Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, one of the Dalai Lama’s central teachings. As the Dalai Lama says, "If I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of the Bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text that I possess it." For those who want more information on this topic, James recommends the article: What Is a Bodhisattva?: The Evolution of a Buddhist Idea by Guy Armstrong.
