>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.
