Continuing from “Buddhism 101”, Surya speaks about the ways in which one can and become a Bodhisattva – a Buddha to be – by “…elevating our gaze, raising our aspirations to reach full, complete enlightenment for the benefit of all beings….” We need to be “fully here” while “getting there.” Surya discusses the Ten Principles of Enlightened Living: generosity, ethical self-discipline, patience, enthusiastic effort, mindfulness (meditation), wisdom, skillful means, spiritual powers, high aspiration and innate wakefulness. Explanations in detail are found in Buddha Is As Buddha Does.
