On that note, I reccomemd the book 'The Heart of Compassion: The Thirty- Seven Verses on the Practice of a Bodhisattva : A Commentary on the Thirty-Seven-Fold Practice of a Bodhisattva by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche'. Imo, any of his texts are an excellent introduction to the Mahayana view and attitude.MatthewAngby wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2018 6:40 am “So, instead of calling for the boddhisattvas to help as external beings by literally externalizing them to internalize them YOU through their enligtened mind help sentient brings such as crabs.”
