“Meditate on the blessings and teachings of Guru Padmasambhava, on his active demonstrations of wisdom for all sentient beings, and on his endless commitment to performing bodhichitta activities. All eight emanations of Guru Rinpoche can be summarized in one simple word: bodhichitta. All the activities we’ve been discussing are about benefitting all sentient beings and helping them awaken to their true nature.
If you don’t know any other way, express your bodhichitta through simple acts of loving-kindness and compassion and practice meditation. This unites the activities of all eight emanations in one simple state. Loving-kindness and compassion are naturally arising qualities of the mind, which become unceasing activities. Allow all ego-clinging—even holding to limited ideas of loving- kindness and compassion—to dissolve back into the expanse of your primordial nature, and the energy will naturally reappear in wiser, more flexible and skillful forms. Meditating like this is a very simple and powerful practice.”
