It's so tempting with a lot of, especially with Western spiritual practitioners, to want to just go right to the most complicated, most profound teachings available right from the start. Well, you need to prepare. You need to have the basis in your spiritual practice in order to do that.

So I feel like I've really been holding back quite a bit.

In this podcast, I discussed the incredibly important reasons for establishing Bodhicitta. Our own awakening is a possibility, but only if we first establish Bodhicitta. And, it is important to know that Bodhicitta is not a belief, it is our real condition as light. It is enlightenment mind, as it is. We’re not able to start the Spiritual Path, unless we have this great compassionate aspiration to awaken.

And, what is this awakening? It is encountering reality for the first time in our eternal existence, knowing what that is. If we establish Bodhicitta, there is no doubt that we will awaken sooner or later. This depends upon you, and only you.

Blessings in Light,

Lama Robert
