Ep. 175 – Intention to Awaken
Heart Wisdom with Jack Kornfield
The Power of Intention
The Buddha walked along and placed his foot on the cloak of this man, lying there. The man said, this is such a magnificent thing to become a Buddha. I bow however long it takes that I too shall do what is required to becoming a Buddha like this one. And as Deepankarabuddha took his step, he nodded and said yes and walked on. That's the story. Now traditionally, Buddhist stories are filled with this quality of directed intention. One would often start obsession practice by taking a vow of wanting to bring benefit to other beings or to share the merit of this with all other beings. So we're talking patience and truthfulness and compassion over and over.
