“For the benefit of all kind mother sentient beings I must attain enlightenment as quickly as possible, therefore whatever I do must only ever be done out of pure bodhicitta.” Bodhicitta is the altruistic attitude that cherishes all others and seeks to lead them to peerless happiness.
Twenty-four hours a day, every action we do should be done with bodhicitta, not for ourselves but for others. No matter what action we do, if it’s done with the mind cherishing others it’s a Dharma action, one that will lead us to peerless happiness and lead all others to peerless happiness.

One must practice with the bodhisattva attitude every day. People can't see your mind, what people see is a manifestation of your attitude in your actions of body & speech.Pay attention to your attitude all the time, guard it as if you are the police, a nanny who cares for a child, like a bodyguard
