Our Method
Bodhisattva Warriors is is rooted in the principles of Tibetan Buddhism.
A Bodhisattva (Skt.; Tib. བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ་, chang chub sempa, Wyl. byang chub sems dpa' ) is someone who has aroused bodhichitta, the compassionate wish to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings and also wishes to bring them to that state. It also refers to a sublime bodhisattva who has attained one of the ten stages of the bodhisattva path.

Location
Dragonfly Village, an enchanted retreat paradise, is set in the midst of one of the most beautiful rice field walks in the center of Ubud, Bali. Tranquility and stunning greenery all around… panorama with sacred volcano Mt Agung and the northern ranges of mountain in a distance… open space filled with dragonflies in the day and fireflies in the night… symphony of crickets and frogs… for those who enjoy being in nature, healing and learning. Only footsteps away from center Ubud, but tucked away from its hassles and bustles, we offer the best of both worlds.
