Purpose in the Mundane

Instead of finding everyday life meaningless, a Bodhisattva views normal social interactions, jobs, and hardships as the perfect training ground to practise patience, generosity, and wisdom. Thus everything – every situation, every feeling, every thought and emotion – is their teacher.

Life is a classroom at every moment, and therefore we never give up. Whatever presents itself is our karmic guide, showing us what we’re still clinging to. At every moment, pure consciousness is present, reminding us to let be.

Emptiness is a peaceful atmosphere, full of pure potential.

In the presence of wisdom, nothing is mundane as everything is a cause and result of ignorance and the realisation of emptiness. Thus, the more we recognise the mundane, the closer enlightenment is.
