If you wish to awaken, you must create causes and conditions for yourself that are conducive for awakening. This means no longer having anything to do with those people or situations that have caused you trauma. It also means that you treat your own body with the utmost respect, finding ways to be healthy and happy, as well as creating lots of time to practice meditation.
Aspiring to awaken is the most precious thing that we can possess. It is something that we can actually take from one lifetime to the next, if we engrain this aspiration sufficiently within our consciousness. This aspiration, which is really Bodhicitta, is the key to unlimited potentiality, it is the key to everything.
Please awaken, it is the most important thing that you can ever do, it is really the discovery of reality at long last. It brings lasting benefit to all beings. Awakening changes the causes and conditions of the world, without increasing the craziness, without adding to the mayhem.
Blessings in Light,
Lama Robert
