Isa Gucciardi – Becoming a Bodhisattva: The Journey of Awakening – Collection

About
This class explores the Path of the Bodhisattva through the eyes of Shantideva, the great 8th-century Indian philosopher, Buddhist monk, poet, and scholar. Shantideva’s classic, A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, one of the great literary classics of Buddhism, is our guidebook as we seek to understand our own relationship to the concept of the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva is a being, who, having attained a certain level of realization, determines to dedicate themselves to helping others do the same. This highly experiential class also covers a broad range of Buddhist principles with the focus of learning the skills and engaging in practices that help us become more proficient at relieving suffering for ourselves and others.

Module 1: The Bodhisattva in Training
In this module, we will ask the question, What is Buddhism? We will explore the Theravadin and Mahayana schools of thought and compare and contrast their approach to the spirit of awakening. We will discuss basic Buddhist principles such as the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.

Module 2: The Vow
In this module, we will read Shantideva’s Vow of the Bodhisattva together. We will explore the implications of taking such a vow and learn how standing in the intention of the Bodhisattva can become a navigational aid on our spiritual path and in our lives.

Module 3: Patience, Effort, and the Paramitas
In this module, we will explore the Paramitas, with special emphasis on the development of patience and effort. We will work with a form of insight meditation to identify and learn about our own particular challenges in meeting the demands involved in walking the path of the Bodhisattva.

Module 4: The Reconciliation of Samsara and Nirvana
In this module, we will seek to understand how important it is to reconcile the experiences of samsara and nirvana if we are to effectively serve others. We will explore the Two Truths to further develop a robust understanding of the field in which the Bodhisattva must function.

Author
Isa Gucciardi
In the mid-nineties, Isa began developing Depth Hypnosis as she entered into clinical practice. Her studies, both in academia and in the field, of cultural and linguistic anthropology, comparative religion, and transpersonal psychology formed the basis of her approach with clients and students. As the body of work that grew out of her clinical practice became larger, she began teaching others so that more people could benefit from the techniques she had developed. In order to accommodate the number of classes that grew out of this process, she co-founded the Foundation of the Sacred Stream, which is now a school for consciousness studies in Berkeley, California, serving hundreds of students each year. Isa teaches and speaks nationally and internationally, and she has published numerous articles, podcast episodes, videos, and the books Return to the Great Mother and Coming to Peace. She maintains a private practice with institutions and individuals in Depth Hypnosis and Coming to Peace processes. Isa speaks five languages and has lived in eleven countries. She is the mother of two children and lives with her partner in San Francisco.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.
