Jun 3 - 9

Spring, week 10

"Bodhicitta ('enlightenment-mind'), is the mind that strives toward awakening, empathy, and compassion for the benefit of all sentient beings. Bodhicitta is a spontaneous wish to attain enlightenment motivated by great compassion for all sentient beings, accompanied by a falling away of the attachment to the illusion of an inherently existing self. A person who has a spontaneous realization or motivation of bodhicitta is called a bodhisattva." --"Bodhicitta" (Wikipedia)
