The Dalai Lama says that we must know and understand suffering and the causes of suffering to become a Bodhicitta. Verse I of the 8 daily Buddha verses is: With the determination to accomplish, The highest welfare for all sentient beings, Who excel even the wish-granting gem, May I at all times hold them dear. He states that we owe everything we have and everything we have achieved to all sentient beings, our friends, family, acquaintances that have helped on this path. From conception to death we depend on others. It is important to remember this daily and hold all sentient beings as our teachers and precious.
Today, I am holding all my teachers (knowingly or unknowingly) as precious gems. Everyone I meet is part of this great journey to become the status of Bodhicitta.
