Path 2: The Bodhisattva
This is the path of the Bodhisattva, focused on enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. This path is one of active participation and has been specially and consciously designed for those who wish to deepen their practice and enter the path of liberation.
Path 2 integrates the perfection of generosity with your practice and interaction with the MMC Community. It is an expansive opportunity to deepen the level of awareness, commitment to the community and to the teachings. Through deeper connection with the teachers, community and teachings, progress is made on the path. Realizing the benefits of this level of participation provides the conditions that support awakening.
This 18 Course program provides a step-by-step instruction on the path to enlightenment as would be taught in a traditional Buddhist monastery in plain English, in a modern and highly practical context.
Each course builds upon the other as the practitioner receives the very pith of instructions and accumulates wisdom and merit that is supportive toward deeper practices and insights.

If you are having financial difficulties and would still like to participate in our programs, Mindfulness Meditation Centers would be honored to support your path. We do ask that you deeply contemplate and meditate upon the meanings the teachings and the community have to you and trust that you have made adjustments to entertainment and additional areas of your life so the Dharma is given first priority. If after after this reflection you have reached a heartfelt conclusion and are unable to meet the financial commitment to the community, new and current members may contact our membership volunteer to request an arrangement.
