Happy day.

In the morning on awaking we should from the core of our heart make this pledge: "Through this whole day today, my mind will never forget Bodhichitta. My stream of being will bath in it".

During eating, dressing, meditating, working, talking, walking, I will practice constantely, remain aware constantely. Ready in case it slips away of mind, I will remind myself and will not allow me to wander in painful states like anger, desire, ignorance. Not forget the dreamlike quality of the daily mandala is a help for own afflictions, while help to other beings is our activity.

When it goes wrong, I should carefully reflect about, even I entered the Buddhadharma and not being able to put it into practice, and so still being incapable to remain mindful. This reflection can help to see how delusion is blinding one's natural dwelling through the day. With fresh courage and enough effort, one lets grow the seed of Bodhichitta.

When at the end of the day, own being never left an altruistic attitude, then offer it for the welfare of all, not just in thought, but in speech and action as well, specially for beings in desperate dwelling; those who are without love, without good health, those who harm others in helpless blindness of poisoned emotions...

Then there is the joy which is emerging and one should say: "Tomorrow I do better." By that never be satisfied or have a feeling: "Great! I am so great, I did it so good"!

May Bodhichitta grow in each sentient being and their own pain will in their given warm altruistic attitude dissolve. So we can be interconnected.
