These talks explore core teachings of the Mahayana path, also known as the path of the bodhisattva. The topics covered include maitri (loving-kindness); karuna (compassion); bodhichitta (enlightened heart); meditation practice; and the role of the teacher, or "spiritual friend." Note: This was a two-part seminar in which the Vajra Regent Ösel Tendzin gave the first three talks one week, and Trungpa Rinpoche gave the last three talks the next week.
