The Ultimate Commitment of a Buddhist. An Essay by Great Master Sying An, with commentary by Venerable Master Hsuan Hua. What is a bodhi mind? It is our mind intent upon awakening ourselves and awakening others; benefitting ourselves and benefitting others. Such a mind is clear. It turns from confusion and returns to enlightenment. It renounces what is deviant and embodies what is proper. Such a mind discerns right from wrong. It harbors no inversions. Such a mind is absolutely straight.
