“…the key to Chan enlightenment—the ‘place’ from which it is possible to be fully realized and not merely talked or thought about—is direct communicative crises. That is, enlightenment has to do with relationship—not with and one individual’s attainments—and in particular with the kind of relationship in which everything is at stake and nothing is in principle excluded as impossible. In short, Chan enlightenment should not be seen as private and experiential in nature, but as irreducibly and intimately social.” [Liberating Intimacy, Peter Herschock, p. x]

A Bodhisattva Vow through Care

Beings are numberless, I vow to care for them all;

Delusions are inexhaustible, I vow to remove obstructions to care;

Dharma gates are boundless, I vow to enter them all

with diligent mindful care;

Buddha’s way is unsurpassable, I vow to embody it with

care and love.

Beings are numberless, we vow to offer care for them all together;

Delusions are inexhaustible, we vow to remove obstructions

to care together;

Dharma gates are boundless, we vow to enter them all with

diligent mindful care together;

Buddha’s way is unsurpassable, we vow to embody it with care and love together.

Beings are numberless, this vow frees infinite care;

Delusions are inexhaustible, this vow ends all obstacles to care;

Dharma gates are boundless, this vow enters the inconceivable

world of care;

Buddha’s way is unsurpassable, this vow embodies profound care.
