In the past few weeks I've been working on Discovering Buddhism at Home module 10 on Developing Bodhicitta. In the readings for the module are all kinds of stories about bodhisattvas giving themselves as food for animals, and giving up their lives willingly for all kinds of other reasons.Last night I dreamt about working in a hospital where there had been a series of murders, and somehow I found myself as bait in a scheme to catch the killer. At one point in the dream I said to the open air, "Just remember, I volunteered to catch somebody, not to get killed!!"
When I woke up I thought, bodhicitta -- NOT!!
