 The Achievement of Altruism
According to the scriptures, the mere inclination to generate bodhicitta thus shows a certain degree of spiritual evolution and maturity. – Karma Trinlay Rinpoche, “What We’ve Been All Along “ |

 It is not enough to have faith in spiritual ideals, based on the testimony of the scriptures or spiritual teachers. We must realize these truths for ourselves, in our own life and consciousness. As the Buddha was fond of saying, the spiritual teacher only points the way; we must do our own traveling. The personal example of others may plant the seed in our hearts, but faith can develop fully only when we begin to experience these truths in our own lives.

 Breaking Through
It’s imperative for us to understand that spiritual practice is not just something we do when we’re sitting in meditation or when we’re on retreat. Failing to see everything as an opportunity for practice is a setup for frustration and disappointment, keeping us stuck where we are and limiting our possibilities for inner growth. The more we include in our practice, the more satisfying our life can be. – Ezra Bayda, “Breaking Through” |
