“Trust is based on understanding the meaning of taking refuge in the Three Jewels of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. When you understand, then confident faith can arise from the depths of your heart. Padmasambhava said that when you have total trust that this allows blessings to enter your mind. When your mind is free of doubt, then whatever you wish can be achieved, including enlightenment."
—Khenpo Sherab Sangpo
Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage (bodhicittasangha.org), offered teachings on "A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life" by Shantideva. This text provides profound guidance on how to train the mind in generating bodhicitta and practicing the six pāramitās of generosity, discipline, patience, diligence, meditative concentration, and the wisdom of emptiness (śūnyatā). The first five transcendent perfections correspond to the accumulation of the merit of skillful means (compassion) and the sixth to the accumulation of wisdom. These trainings in cultivating bodhicitta and the six pāramitās are the heart practices of the bodhisattvas on the Mahāyāna path of enlightenment.
