On this week's webcast, Elizabeth Debold and Jeff Carreira launch a three-part series exploring parallels between certain key concepts of Mahayana Buddhism and updated evolutionary forms of these concepts in the teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment. The Mahayana Buddhist tradition deemphasizes the liberation, or enlightenment, of the individual, instead giving greater weight to the individual's cultivation of their own desire to assist in the liberation of all other sentient beings. Taking on this sacred mission of universal liberation is what it means to take the bodhisattva vow. They explore how Andrew Cohen's Evolutionary Enlightenment teaching provides a new way to understand the bodhisattva vow by placing it in an evolutionary context.
