37 practices of the bodhisattva – Verse 9

By Ken McLeod

Ken McLeod continues his commentary on the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattva with Verse 9. Watch the other videos here.

9

Like a dewdrop on a blade of grass. 
The highest level of freedom is one that never changes. 
Aim for this—this is the practice of a bodhisattva.

What is your experience of achieving a sense of freedom in life? What stands in the way?
