We dont wait until we overcome our self-centeredness before - TopicsExpress



          

We dont wait until we overcome our self-centeredness before engaging with the world; addressing the suffering of the wider world is how we overcome our self-centeredness. Contrary to a common way of understanding the bodhisattva path, bodhisattvas dont defer their own perfect enlightenment in order to help others; helping others is how they perfect their enlightenment. We awaken from our own self-suffering into a world full of suffering, with the realization I am not separate from that world. ~David Loy Were honored to host David this Sunday for a day focusing on Buddhism and the Ecological Crisis: tiny.cc/ecological-crisis
