As we tame the wildness of our minds with the appropriate discipline, all our defects will gradually disappear and all the qualities of a Bodhisattva will bloom. As Nāgārjuna said:
Someone who has acted carelessly,
But later becomes careful and attentive
Is as beautiful as the bright moon
emerging from the clouds.
However intractable our ego-clinging might seem, it is possible to free ourselves from it and develop compassion ~ H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
