Bodhichitta is the resiliently inspired heart of a Bodhisattva is a CoMessiah.  This piece is a transposition, expansion of a poem-teaching I found in Sogyal Rinpoche's Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.

Bodhichitta: Is a supremely multicultural golden elixir overcoming sovereignty of death, fear of mortality, anger against loss and suffering and dispassionate inhumanity. Is an inexhaustible infinite poly-rational treasure eliminating, absorbing, healing poverty in and on and over Earth's orbiting revolving spiraling seasonal path. Is supreme medicine that quells dispels Earth's disease, monoculturing unease, swells polyculturing ease, communion, multiculturally intelligent communication. Is a tree sheltering all living creatures wandering wondering tired retired retreading this cooperatively-held path of conditioned reconditioned, autonomously interdependent, mortal existence immortal consciousness. Is a universal bridge, nutritional language, healthy wealth leading to liberal liberating liberty from unhappy, stingy, conserving, hoarding states of defensive birth and child uncare. Is a dawning moon of mindbodies dispelling respelling tumorous torment of disturbing conceptions, perturbing new moon misconceptions, burbling cognitive dissociative dissonance, gurgling bicameral full moon resonance. Is a great sun ultimately removing misty ignorance of MotherEarth icons, EarthMother original sources resourcing our ecofeminist healthy home in joy.
