“Bodhi means “awakening.” Bodhi-mind means the mind that aspires for awakening, not only for ourselves but for everyone. That is, in order to be awakened, you must help others.”

“Thoughts and passing emotions liberate themselves, moment after moment after moment. We don’t have to do anything to make them disappear. They liberate themselves if we let go of what we’re grasping.”
