Discover: The Way of the Bodhisattva, by Shantideva
This book is an ideal companion for deepening your practice during Kura's retreat. This timeless spiritual guide, rooted in Mahayana Buddhism, offers profound insights into cultivating compassion, mindfulness, and the path to inner peace. Through its teachings, readers are encouraged to adopt the mindset of a bodhisattva—one who seeks enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.
​
The book's emphasis on self-awareness, selflessness, and cultivating inner calm aligns beautifully with Kura's approach to yoga and healing. Whether you're practicing Mysore Ashtanga, participating in massage workshops, or enjoying the retreat's Yin yoga sessions, this book will help deepen your understanding of mindfulness, meditation, and compassionate action, providing guidance for both your time on the mat and in everyday life.

By integrating the wisdom from The Way of the Bodhisattva into your retreat experience, you'll enhance your spiritual growth and gain valuable tools to maintain inner balance long after the retreat ends.
