"We awaken this bodhichitta, this tenderness for life, when we can
no longer shield ourselves from the vulnerability of our condition, from the
basic fragility of existence. In the words of the sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa, "You
take it all in. You let the pain of the world touch your heart and you turn it
into compassion." It is said that in difficult times, it is only bodhichitta
that heals."
