Could a Bodhisattva be carried on your bike?
Hi Anonymous,I’m not sure what to make of your comment…but my answer is yes without doubt; the bike could carry a Bodhisattva in the literal sense, but I like to think that we each carry the Seed of enlightenment within ourselves wherever we go…the key, I suppose (at least it is with me) is to be aware of it and nurture it. Thanks for reading and commenting. Peace.

I so LOVE this series of what can be “carried on a bike..” Makes one think and ponder.. that’s always a good thing to do. I always smile and laugh outloud. (although I am easily amused…)
A little prayer before getting on a bike or before getting out of bed. In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few. Shunryu Suzuki
Thanks Anonymous,I love the quote, I’ll try to remember that. It’s also inspiring because some days when I think I’m in charge and know more than I do I realize I don’t know much at all…that I’m pretty much a beginner at everything…lots of possabilities.
