Satsang with Tim, very nice. Well done I think. I've been reading this evening

and

found this quote you might like;

 

 

Bodhisattvas are not merely archetypes. Bodhisattvas are great cosmic beings,

helping

us all to become bodhisattvas. Bodhisattvas are not who we think they are.

Bodhisattvas are simply ordinary beings, making their way back to Buddha.

Bodhisattvas

appear in the nooks and crannies of your life; soon you may start seeing them

more

clearly. Bodhisattvas are just around the corner. Bodhisattvas are extraordinary

wondrous beings, bestowing blessings on all wretched, confused, petty creatures.

Bodhisattvas are living in your neighborhood, waiting to say " Good morning " to

you.

Bodhisattvas are just like you and me. Bodhisattvas are kind and gentle.

Bodhisattvas

are not who we think they are. Bodhisattvas are tough and indefatigable.

Bodhisattvas

are not limited to a handful of amazing figures or famous people. Bodhisattvas

are not

limited by what we say they are or are not. We are all bodhisattvas.

Bodhisattvas are

not who we think they are. We cannot understand how wonderful bodhisattvas are.

We are

all bodhisattvas.

Modern Expression*

We are all bodhissatvas :^)
