In eighth century India a Buddhist teacher named Shantideva composed a personal meditation in verse outlining the path of the "bodhisattvas," those beings who renounce the peace of individual salvation and vow to work for the deliverance of all beings.  Translated into Tibetan, it became one of the central texts in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, and is generally referred to as "The Way of the Bodhisattva." 

In this video series Pema Chodron goes through the opening chapters of this classic work, commenting on each stanza, and bringing these teachings into the modern world with her usual combination of humor and insight.
