About the Series
The path of the Bodhisattva Warrior begins with developing affection for ourselves and then expands this affection to others, dissolvendo as barreiras que nos dividem. To support this practice, Shambhala senior teachers taught a year-long course with contemplative and meditation practices from the Buddhist Mahayana teachings of our lineage.
Throughout this four-part series, the main practice is tonglen, taught by Ani Pema Chödrön with a guided meditation and an audio talk that is posted in all four courses. There are also additional teachings to introduce and support other practices of the Mahayana.
Within this series, divided into four seasonal themes, teachers offer talks that relate to each topic with their own personal approach. The themes for the four seasons echo the virtues of the Four Dignities of the Shambhala Path: Tiger, Lion, Garuda e Dragão.

Part III - Fearless Garuda: Vazio e Bodhicitta Absoluto
O poder do Mahayana vem de sua clareza sobre a verdadeira natureza da realidade. This clarity is described as penetrating insight (prajna), that sees that the world is actually different from what we habitually think it is. Instead of assuming that beings, objects and systems are solid, truly existing independently, the bodhisattva sees that everything is empty of concepts and reference points (shunyata).
