What is Bodhi Bear?Bodhi Bear .... Bodhi Bear might mean something a little different to everyone. A bodhi bear could be someone who reminds us of our highest potential, someone who, with the example of their gentle ways, inspires us to strive to be our best selves. Bears are are peaceful yet powerful protectors of those in their care, as are the bodhisattvas who forgo their own ultimate liberation to instead remain in the wheel of life to act as teachers, guides and protectors of all sentient beings on the path to enlightenment. Bears also remind us to find balance between our active, goal-oriented lives, and the times when we want to be quiet, introspective, and restful. In a similar way, the bodhis remind us of these same qualities by being active participants in the world while also keeping a strong meditative practice – they remind us to “know thyself” first, and from there all things become possible. Bears and bodhis remind us to take it easy and remember to smile! Bodhi bear could be a simple sweet term of endearment for someone we love. What is a bodhi bear to you? |
