这门名为“一切菩萨的37种修行”的Coursera课程，将深入探讨一位名叫托梅·桑波（Togme Zangpo）的14世纪藏传佛教喇嘛所著的经典文本。该文本总结了菩萨修行之道，即那些致力于证悟并帮助他人证悟的个体。 课程将阐述“菩萨”的多重含义，包括已证悟者、正在证悟之路上者，以及引导他人证悟者。课程强调，大乘佛教的根基在于菩萨的理想，即我们内在已具足觉醒，且通过帮助他人实现觉醒，也同时实现自身的觉醒。 课程将详细介绍托梅·桑波提出的37种具体修行实践。即使目标并非成为菩萨，这些教诲也能帮助我们更好地应对生活中的日常挑战，提升处理生活的能力。 课程将简要介绍托梅·桑波的生平背景，他是一位备受尊敬的学者，自幼出家，毕生致力于佛法研究与实践，尤其在《入菩萨行论》和“道次第”（Lamrim）等教法上有深厚造诣，被认为是藏传佛教史上的重要人物。他的教诲被藏传佛教各大传承所学习，并被视为菩萨道的专家。 课程将从 the 37 Practices of All Bodhisattvas 的开篇颂词入手，特别是对观世音菩萨（Lokesvaraya）的致敬。观世音菩萨的象征意义在于强调了课程的核心——慈悲心的培养。课程将解释，通过向导师和菩萨致敬，我们能够升华自我，并将佛法融入生活，这将是修行实践的目标。 课程旨在通过佛陀和菩萨的教诲，帮助学习者理解并进入修行之道。与许多大乘佛教文本一样，课程的起点将是学习谦逊和慈悲。 本课程没有提供正式的课程大纲（Syllabus）。
A Bodhisattva is one who strives to attain enlightenment.Bodhisattva is a sanskrit word that means "Enlightenment Being." It has multiple definitions:Bodhisattva:an enlightened personone who is on the path to enlightenmentone who enlightens others.Mahayana Buddhism rests entirely on the Bodhisattva ideal. We have innate wakefulness-we are enlightened already-but we are also on the path to realizing the fact that we are awakened and our true nature is not separate from bringing others to awakening along with us. Helping others is helping ourselves and helping ourselves is realizing what has always been true.This text "the 37 practices of a Bodhisattva" is a concise text written by a Tibetan teacher in the 14th century named Togme Zangpo who was a member of the Sakya lineage. It's a summary of how we should behave as we are on the path to awakening. It's a Tibetan Mahayana teaching. Togme Zangpo describes 37 practices we should adopt on the Bodhisattva path.Even if we don't have the lofty goal of being Bodhisattvas, these teachings can still help us deal with the ordinary problems in our lives. We can learn to handle our lives better by following these methods.Togme Zangpo is well respected as a scholar in the Tibetan lineages. His parents died when he was a child and he entered monastery living at the age of 9. Not much is known about him, but he studied and practiced for decades and decades and is considered an important figure in the history of Tibetan Buddhism and he's known for deeply studying the Way of the Bodhisattva and Lamrim teachings.Togme Zangpo was thought of as a Bodhisattva and his teachings are studied by all the various lineages in Tibetan Buddhism.He was a specialist in the Bodhisattva path.This work, the 37 practices is one that means a lot to me. I hope you like it too.I'm going to present the introductory verses here.Homage to LokesvarayaYou who see that experience has no coming or going,Yet pour your energy solely into helping beings,My excellent teachers and Lord All Seeing,I humbly and constantly honor with my body, speech, and mind.The fully awake, the buddhas, source of joy and well-being,All come from integrating the noble Way.Because integration depends on your knowing how to practice,I will explain the practice of all bodhisattvas.Lokesvaraya is another name for Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion. In referencing him, the text is declaring that this is a teaching based cultivating compassion.Zangpo starts by sublimating our egos by paying homage to teachers and Bodhisattvas. And he has described integration of the dharma as the goal of our practice.Through the teachings of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas we gain the benefits of instruction on entering the path.It starts with humility and compassion, as many Mahayana texts do. I hope you'll enjoy exploring it with me.
