"The Bodhisattva is like the
mightiest of warriors; but her enemies are not common foes of flesh and bone,
but is with the inner delusions, the afflictions of self-cherishing and ego
grasping, those most terrible of demons that catch living beings in the snares
of confusion and cause them forever to wander in pain, frustration and
sorrow. Her mission is to harm ignorance and delusion, never living
beings. These he looks upon with kindness, patience, and empathy,
cherishing them like a mother cherishes her only child. She is the real hero, calmly facing any hardship in order
to bring peace, happiness and
liberation to the world."
