This walk is set up as as spiritual practice based on the  Bodhicharyavatara (The Guide), written by fifth eighth-century Indian master Shantideva. It is one of the great works of Buddhist literature as it shows the way to transcend the limitations of selfishness and realize the boundless compassion of the Bodhisattva, whose only concern is the benefit of others. This journey is meant to not just benefit others, but all beings, including the walker.We offer this walk as a gift, and if you'd like to support our work in gratitude so that we can help nurture others and the parrots of the tropics, please visit One Earth Conservation's donation page.
