SPEAKER 1
hello everybody all around the world uh thank you for tuning into my podcast uh this is podcast 20 and it is uh may 19th 2024. um last in the last podcast i gave you a simple explanation of just a simple practice And it's really important that you keep your spiritual practice to a manageable level.

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. But that's actually on purpose because I don't want anybody to abandon their spiritual practice when you've suddenly... uh found yourself at the cusp of awakening so even if the practice seems very simple to you uh and maybe not you know it's not intellectually challenging or you

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
