Reducing the overwhelming presence of me and mine is the bodhisattva’s path. It decreases all the confusion, ignorance, and habitual patterns that come from self- indulgence. We extend care to others, generate feelings of love, and wish for all others to obtain the causes and conditions of happiness. So strive to generate feelings of love. Pray for the causes and conditions of happiness to appear in others’ lives. Generate happiness yourself as a means to produce the causes and conditions of happiness in others’ lives. Accumulate merit so that you will be successful in serving others this way. Doing this will decrease your overwhelming presence of me and mine ~ Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
