a swirl of stardust
passing through this fleeting life
instruments of love

we have within us vast potential for empathy, to be kind and gentle, open and tender, resilient and filled with compassion, guided by wisdom.
may it be our choice, may it be so.
may open hearts, may sanity and wisdom arise.

our potential to stay open, tender, soft, empathetic, and kind, to abandon cynicism, to move with a balance of humility and confidence embodying love as compassion, sometimes fierce, is a superpower, a healing force that transforms hearts and benefits the world.
no weapons needed.

Aṣṭasāhastikā says that #bodhicitta a citta that is acitta.
Here bodhicitta/acitta means the same as #śūnyatā: a mind in which no sensory experience is arising (or ceasing) because attention has been withdrawn from sensory experience.
Since there is no mental content in that state, it is acitta.

While for many within the #sutta concept of #buddhism the concept of #buddha is limited to an historical personality that became a liberated to the point of being beyond human, thus gone and not reachable; in #mahayana the focus is on generation compassion for all sentient beings, aka #bodhicitta. This is because the primordial #buddha is seen as compassion itself. The symbolism for compassion can take many forms, but in essence is the same when it comes to the realization we are all connected
