[From Commentary on The Daily Guru Rinpoche Sadhana with Tsok by Bardor Tulku Rinpoche. Translated by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso.]
We need to continually generate bodhichitta, reinforce it in post meditation, and especially cultivate it consciously during our meditation sessions, whether we are practicing at home or at a center. When you recite the liturgy, do not do it like a parrot chanting OM MANI PADME HUM. Think about what you are saying, and then you will generate the resolve to benefit beings exactly as all buddhas and bodhisattvas have done in the past, are doing now, and will continue to do until samsara is empty. Generate bodhichitta not just with your mouth, but with your mouth and mind together. That will make your aspiration very powerful, and it will certainly be accomplished.
