[ BODHISATTVA: COMPASSION ]
The goddess of mercy prays for the happiness of all living beings

MEANING: You are on your way to becoming a Bodhisattva! You cherish the potential in others. You have the courage to care and to help others on their path to happiness. Temper altruism with common sense so you are not taken advantage of. Someone may intercede on your behalf. When dealing with others, develop your natural, empathetic abilities.

INTERPRETATION: The Bodhisattva is not a god or deity but a way of being you can aspire to. It is a statement of willingness to give up one's own well-being, even one's own enlightenment, for the sake of others. This is a matter of opening your heart and that can be as simple as opening your eyes. When you open your eyes to the truth that people are in pain, at a very basic level you feel a natural response. This response is called compassion. It's called love. You want to help. Compassion and love have no limit, especially if you practice stepping beyond yourself. Start practicing and perfecting the qualities of generosity, discipline, patience and meditation so you can help others.
