“Basic goodness is very closely connected to the idea of bodhicitta in the Buddhist tradition. Bodhi means ‘awake’ or ‘wakeful’ e citta means ‘heart,’ so bodhicitta is ‘awakened heart.’ Tal coração desperto vem de estar disposto a enfrentar seu estado de espírito. That may seem like a great demand, but it is necessary. A prática sentada da meditação é o meio para redescobrir a bondade básica, e além disso, é o meio para despertar esse coração genuíno dentro de você.”
— Chögyam Trungpa

Allowing our heart and intuition to open, we can communicate directly with the world.

Connecting with the world, and communicating with it more directly, permits us to experience our heart and the ways we respond to experience. Rather than using those responses as an occasion to re-generate habitual patterns, we can use them as reminders to wake up further. When we allow ourselves to meet the world in this way, without hope and fear, we find resources of steadiness and energy.
