About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Book Preview: #1 Bodhichitta is the soft spot that is present in all of us, and it is what allows us to love and care about things. It is our ability to feel the pain that we share with others, and it is what helps us compassionately help others.
#2 Bodhichitta is the soft spot that is found behind the hardness of rage and the shakiness of fear. It is available in loneliness as well as in kindness. We can train as warriors by using the practices of meditation, loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity.
#3 Bodhichitta is the willingness to experience pain and fear, and it is available to all beings. It is like discovering a wisdom and courage we did not even know we had. It can transform any activity, word, or thought into a vehicle for awakening our compassion.
