Imagine a path where every action you take becomes a step toward freedom, happiness, and true fulfillment. This course is for those who want to live a joyful and meaningful life using a set of tools which support their journey while helping others in the process.
In ACI 7, you will discover how the ancient system of the bodhisattva vows leads to the source of inexhaustible happiness and effortless joy. It’s a practical toolkit for anyone who wishes to change their lives for the better, and understand how the world truly works.

The Bodhisattva Vows is a detailed instruction manual for spiritual warriors containing 64 concepts, or practices that can noticeably transform your life. Students have commented that the before-and-after effects of putting this system into use are quite profound.
The course is based on a renowned commentary on the vows—The Highway for Bodhisattvas—by the 14th-century Buddhist master, Je Tsongkapa.

Why the term “vow” has been greatly misunderstood as something which is restrictive, when in fact it unlocks vast and hidden potential

Who can take the bodhisattva vows and the method in which they are taken
The essence of the 18 root vows and 46 secondary vows, and how to practically apply them

The relationship between karma and your future rebirth
