Everflowing Nectar of Bodhicitta

Bodhichitta is the special brave attitude wishing to attain enlightenment for the purpose of benefiting others. 

Without it, enlightenment is not possible. In fact, if one maintains the habit is selfish thinking, there is no opportunity even for temporal happiness. These eight short verses are easy to memorise and have the power to turn the difficult people in our lives into precious teachers. This is a most essential practice for both temporal happiness and ultimate enlightenment. It is a great method for transforming problems into happiness and a powerful tool for healing. 

“This teaching contains the essence of thought transformation, exchanging self for others. By putting these eight verses into practice every day of our lives we can change our normal attitude of self-cherishing into pure, precious bodhichitta.”

–       Lama Zopa Rinpoche
