In this short teaching, Geshe Sonam Ngodup explains to us about the benefits of Bodhichitta by quoting a verse from Chapter 1 of Shantideva's Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra or Bodhicaryāvatāra (Tib. བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའི་སྤྱོད་པ་ལ་འཇུག་པ་ byang chub sems dpa'i spyod pa la 'jug pa). Geshe la teaches in Tibetan and his teachings are translated by Venerable Khedrup.
