Bodhisattva Archetypes
This book takes on the inner workings of Bodhisattvas, and helps us find them inside ourselves. Indeed, it is through the outer workings, that you can truly know the inner intent. By exploring seven prominent Bodhisattvas, you and I can find leadership by examples. All we have to do is find our own strengths and work without thinking of ourselves. Trying to be a Bodhisattva is vanity, it is something that you should naturally uncover through practice.
Looking around in today’s world for the kind of example the Buddha’s disciples had is fruitless. Despite this, Taigen Daniel Leighton pulls into focus the aspects of Bodhisattvahood inherent in us all, and shows type specific examples for us to model. The selections from our lifetime create recognizable patterns that we can emulate. Complete with seven examples and tons of orientation material, this selection is a great way to dig a little deeper into the Buddhist paramita practice.
