Bodhichitta

From this time forth until I become a Buddha, I shall keep even at the cost of my life, A mind wishing to attain complete enlightenment, To free all living beings from the fears of samsara and solitary peace.

Buddha of compassion

Quote

Buddha taught that there are countless world systems in the universe; some like our own while others are vastly different. Our own world system is composed of four 'continents' arranged in the cardinal directions, and we live in the southern continent. At the centre of this world system stands a vast, four-sided mountain. This is Mount Meru.

Although our body remains in our room, our mind can travel wherever it wishes because it has the mental factor intention. Just as the movement of a candle flame depends upon wind, so the movement of our mind depends upon the mental factor intention.

Through the strength of our pure motivation and the power and blessings of Buddhadharma our dedications can certainly help, especially if we have a strong karmic link with the people for whom we are praying. Dedicating our merit to others is itself a form of giving.

Buddha Amitayus

Whenever we meditate, we are performing an action that causes us to experience inner peace in the future.

Geshe-La's Guru

From now until I and others attain enlightenment, Through the virtues we have already created and will create, May there be the auspiciousness of the Venerable Guru's holy form remaining like an immutable vajra in this world.

Although there are numerous Mahayana practices, of both Sutra and Tantra, there is no practice more important than bodhichitta.

Quote

Once we become a Buddhist we have the opportunity to accomplish all the spiritual realizations of the Buddhist path, from the realization of relying upon a Spiritual Guide through to the Path of No More Learning, or Buddhahood.
