your own heart and your own reflection to consider what is it that you do know.

And in particular how we navigate through hard times and what it would be like to be a Bodhi in hard times.

Bodhi is a Buddhist term

word Bodi means enlightened or awakened and Sotva means being.

It's a being who's committed to the awakening or the alleviation of suffering for all.

Somebody who's committed to say my life or my energy and so forth is to relieve

suffering and bring well-being to as many beings as possible.

Some little task like that, whatever.

The Dalai Lama wakes up in the morning

with this beautiful prayer from Chante deva where he says may I be a

a raft a bridge a boat to help those who are

the flood. May I be a lamp for those lost in the darkness.
