Compassion is the guiding principle of the bodhisattvas, those who vow to attain enlightenment in order to liberate all sentient beings from the suffering and confusion of imperfect existence. To this end, they must renounce all self-centered goals and consider only the well-being of others. The bodhisattvas' enemies are the ego, passion and hatred; their weapons are generosity, patience, perseverance, and wisdom.
In Tibetan Buddhism,the Dalai Lama is considered to be a living embodiment of this spiritual ideal. His holiness the fourteenth Dalai Lama presents here a detailed manual of practical philosophy, based on The way of the bodhisattva a well known text of mahayana Buddhism written by Shantideva. The Dalai Lama explains and amplifies the text, alluding throughout to the experience of daily life and showing how anyone can develop bodhichitta the wish for perfect enlightenment for the sake of others. This book will surely become a standard manual for all those who wish to make the bodhisattva ideal a living experience.

Ancient peoples the world over understood that individual consciousness is rooted in a universal field of consciousness and is therefore eternal, surviving the passing of the physical body. They engaged in spiritual practices to make that transition maximally auspicious.These practices can be described as a kind of alchemy in which base elements are discarded and higher levels of consciousness are realized. The result is the creation of a vehicle, a soul body, that carries consciousness beyond physical death.
These spiritual preparations are symbolized in the Vedic, Egyptian, and Hebraic traditions as a divine stairway or ladder, a step-by-step path of ascent in which the practitioner raises consciousness by degrees until it comes

When the moses code was first revealed to the Israelites, some of the greatest miracles in history were performed. Shortly afterward, influential leaders decreed that the inherent energy was simply too vast and potentially dangerous to be used by anyone other than the highest initiates......
It's now time for all of us to master the code as well- not just to add riches to our lives, but to create a world based upon the laws of compassion and peace. We're being offered the most powerful tool in history for creating our reality.
This isn't a New Age fairy tale; it's real and true. We need enlightened souls to finally manifest the world of our dreams. It's easy to look at the earth and see the devastation of unconscious manifestation. Our planet didn't arrive at the brink of such terror on its own but through our collective decisions. The question now is simply: will we choose this again, or will we finally and resolutely decide to follow the call of the soul rather than the pandering of the ego? Whatever we genuinely feel, the world and everything in it will transform in order to match that belief.
You have an essential and individual role to play, and that's why this book has found you.
For now, relax and enjoy... you're about to go on a journey that will change your life!

Thirty-five hundred years ago, God gave moses a gift that changed the future of humanity. Some of the most incredible miracles in history came from applying a simple code, activating the power of the creative force of god in the world. this ancient technology has largely been lost or ignored since then, only to be revealed once again through this movie. This code, if finally applied by humanity, has the power to transform the planet, as well as add the richest blessings to all of us.
Some of the best-known teachers in the world join James in this film, and offer tools that show us how we can apply the Moses Code to our lives. This is the foundation upon which the law of attraction is built. The film focuses on the power of "soul manifestation" drawing upon our own innate spiritual ability to produce miracles everywhere we go.
