After arisen of Bodhicitta, how can you protect it for a long time?

Sodaji Kanbu 2021-05-10

ask:After being heartbroken, how can you protect yourself for a long time?

Sodaji Khenpo answered:If we those who have developed the Bodhicitta do not grasp these two efforts to cure our own defiled mind and behave without righteousness, it is impossible for us to protect our Bodhicitta.Some people often think: When will you rest?I'll relax.This is a very bad mentality. As a person who has developed the Bodhicitta, he should not always think about his own happiness. Although ordinary ladies occasionally have this kind of thought, they should immediately discover it, recognize it, and treat it.Since our body, speech and mind have been devoted to sentient beings, we should not have our own time and space. We should not stop the pace of altruism before sentient beings are liberated.Of course, for us now, listening, thinking and practicing are beneficial to sentient beings. In this process, if we become lazy and lazy and want to do meaningless things, we should immediately remind ourselves not to do this. Our mentality must be corrected and eliminate all meaningless things.

Generally speaking, those who have developed the Bodhicitta should observe themselves when walking, standing, sitting, and lying down: Is this meaningful thing for sentient beings?Is it meaningful to my liberation?First consider this issue, rather than considering one’s own family and one’s own body, otherwise one would not be a Mahayana practitioner.

Some people seem to be very confident at the beginning and feel that they will definitely not give up Bodhicitta.But in fact, this requires a long-term practice, otherwise, as the Tibetan saying goes: the mentality of sleeping at night will disappear when you wake up in the morning.Therefore, it is very important to practice frequently during the process of studying and thinking. This habit can never be lost. Otherwise, when a certain time comes, the original mentality will be blurred and faded, and it may not be very solid.Of course, if you want the Bodhicitta oath to be very strong, you will never give up no matter what environment you are in or what kind of people you face. First of all, you must have unswerving confidence. If you want to have such firm confidence, you must conduct long-term study and thinking.If you have not been listening to the Dharma for a long time, those who listen to the Dharma think that Bodhicitta is very important and you will definitely not give up. When ordinary ladies encounter various external conditions, they often cannot stand the test and are prone to lose their minds of Tao.
