#Buddhism #Bodhicitta

“Mesmerized by the myriad variety of appearances, mad with hope and fear, beings roam the endless waste of Samsara. So that they may find relief in the luminosity and boundless space of their own true nature, I generate immeasurable loving-kindness and compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity, the very heart of bodhicitta.” #morning #chants #Bodhicitta

The Supreme Path.
‘On the supreme path of the nature of reality itself, where nothing whatsoever manifests, if one does not search for anything and is free of thoughts, this is the space of meditation.’

#Tantra of #Meditation on #Bodhicitta.

[🙏 Shantideva] Only Bodhicitta helps both self and other.

Night night everyone.

#Bodhicitta

Thinking of the #Bodhicitta #prayer in the context of young people coming of age among overwhelming existential challenges. It is no substitute for engaged action, but *as* we act, it is for them...
--------------
May the supreme jewel bodhicitta

That has not arisen, arise and grow;

And may that which has arisen not diminish

But increase more and more.
