Bodhicitta

In the previous episode (Part 1), I talked about what your practice edge is not, and what it is. I discussed why it’s valuable to stay in touch with your edge, and the first step in finding it. Then I presented the idea that first you practice for the sake of your own suffering, then you practice for the sake of others, and finally, you practice for the sake of the Dharma. I am using this teaching to organize my discussion, and in the first episode I talked about finding your practice edge when you are suffering. Now I move on to the second two motivations for practice.
