[Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche in Tibetan]
Again we restrengthen our bodhicitta and thinking of all living beings.
At the same time have also great joy and appreciation that we have the
wonderful opportunity, wonderful situation and, in a way, also a wonderful life.
And all this is so beautiful and with, together with the dharma, that I would like...make something very special and beautiful
that will benefit for all the beings, and to bring them to the enlightenment,
and that also means to remove their suffering, their difficulties, and ease their mind and heart.
Have that kind of thought strongly in our heart and mind and then we trying to reflect the teachings.
[Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche in Tibetan]
And now, as the dzogchen teachings repeatedly said, and we all know that everything is mind,
everything is really connected, and reflected and experienced by mind.
That also means this motivation is so important. Whatever we are motivated in our heart and mind,
and...sooner or later, that really also reflect...reflect that in that way.
So therefore, this motivation is something so...so important, both subject and object.
And then deep down, we are talking about virtues and non-virtues, and all these things.
All that we talk or the Buddhas talk strongly all the time.
These virtues and non-virtues also come down to the mind.
It's not something that externally also really coming to us, that virtues [and] non-virtues, but again it ignited from the mind,
it started from the mind, it is reflected through the mind, and then it becomes the virtues and non-virtues
...and this is also mind.
And through all these reasons, the cause and conditions, Law of the Karma, all these something is connected to the..to this mind
For that very reason, the gracious teacher Buddha Shakyamuni gave his first teaching
in Varanasi... Varanasi was [on the] Four Noble Truths. Four Noble Truths teaching was
the law...teachings on the law of the cause and conditions, [the] system of this
samsara and nirvana, how it is working, how it's reflecting.
