The Venerable Jangchub Phuntsok will share with us his understanding and experience of the teachings arising from this very well known text, which he teaches in many Rabten Centres in different countries, including Romania since 2011. About the Tibetan text The work entitled The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva (rGyal sras lag len so bdun ma) is composed by the Tibetan master Gyelse Thokme Sangpo, who lived in the 14th century and was known as a very learned master and at the same time a great monk who spent years meditating in solitude.
