Spiritual practice is perfected through compassion. We should develop the attitude: “I am doing this spiritual training for the service, happiness, benefit, and enlightenment of all beings; I am training in order to make myself a proper tool to serve and fulfill the needs of all beings.” In the sutras, this is called bodhicitta, the enlightened attitude.
This intention to dedicate our training to others is a powerful way to open our closed, restricted hearts. It produces a strong spiritual energy —a blessing— and sows in us the seed of enlightenment. If we develop and maintain this “enlightenment mind,” then whatever we do will spontaneously become spiritual training and a means of benefit for all. - Tulku Thondop
