Trust me, I know a thing or two about blow out. I've had life shoot out my back tires when I thought I was speeding down the highway. This blog shares the helpful things that helped me get from the breakdown lane to the breakthrough lane. I hope you find it helpful and entertaining.

WHAT IS BODHICHITTA?
“If we were to ask the Buddha, “What is bodhichitta?” he might tell us that this word is easier to understand than to translate. Chitta means “mind” and also “heart” or “attitude.” Bodhi means “awake,” “enlightened,” or “completely open.” Sometimes the completely open heart and mind of bodhichitta is called the soft spot, a place as vulnerable and tender as an open wound. It is equated, in part, with our ability to love. Even the cruelest people have this soft spot. Even the most vicious animals love their offspring. As Trungpa Rinpoche put it, “Everybody loves something, even if it’s only tortillas.”
