"If a man makes a vow to god or makes an oath to obligate himself, he must not break his word. He must do all that he expresses verbally." - BeMidbar 30:3
"Bodhisattva is the Sanskrit word for a being who is devoted to awakening and to acting for the benefit of all that lives." - Jack Cornfield
I took the bodhisattva oath in my early twenties. The service of humanity continues, even after short periods of samadhi. I sometimes failed to fulfill all my promises, mainly because of situations that went beyond my control. I excuse myself for that. I keep on working.
At your service,
With love,
K. Gabriel
