With understanding of impermanence, REAL understanding of everything arising to pass away, we will no longer be trol seeubled by anything that presents itself in our experience.
"This too shall pass."  Whether it is something that brings pleasure, pain, both, or neither, this too shall pass.
Then we will see the world through a whole new lens.  Everyone who is weighed down by the past, present, and/or future... they
are weighed down by mental constructs alone, so much of the time!  By BELIEVING that life is hard because a loved one passed away 10 years ago and you have been grieving since,
you are ensuring that that is your reality.  But if you believed that you were grateful to have had that person in your life while they were here and now you embody their qualities in honor of their life,
then you are not weighed down but instead "raised up".  It is the same thing happening at the physical level, but an entirely different life at the mental level.
Ohhhhhhhhh Juancito and then there is ONLY COMPASSION left.  Compassion for everyone who thinks that there is a real, permanent hardship occurring in the life.  Because they think it it is so.  They do not have to think it.
But because they think they have to think it, it is so.  Ohhhhhhhhhh if only we could look directly into their eyes and replace this belief system with one that lightens the load!
It is everywhere.  It is all around us.  And if we grow deeper and more penetrating eyes to view it with, then we grow deeper and more penetrating wisdom to help.
Leave behind your own problems and you see the problems of all around you.
See the problems of all around you and feel how much potential you have to help.
Feel how much potential you have to help and see where that takes you in your life.
Live your life for others and you will always be happy and free.

understand that virtuous deeds lead to happiness.
therefore at all times gather your energy and generously dedicate it to all sentient beings,
praying that your happiness and virtuous deeds may nurture all beings.

all discernible appearances, both outer and inner phenomena,
are like dreams and illusions-
in the past they did not exist, in the end they will not exist,
and in between they appear through a chain of interdependent factors.

although they appear,
from the very beginning phenomena are empty of true existence;
intrinsically, they are without essence,
nor do they remain.

with consummate skill,
rest in simplicity, letting everything be
in a state free of taking things as real.

this is the fundamental nature beyond speech and intellect,
the definitive meaning, the transcendent perfection of wisdom
that can only be realized through one's own awareness.
be determined to master this understanding!

relax into unbroken pristine simplicity.

do not fail to destroy the mental fixations
of a materialistic point of view

foster freedom from clinging and all mental constructs.

Bodhicitta is a compassion for all beings, accompanied by a falling away of the attachment to the illusion of an inherently-existing self.

This spark of compassion motivates one to achieve omniscient Buddhahood as quickly as possible, so that one may benefit infinite sentient beings. Bodhicitta is a felt need to replace others' suffering with bliss. Since the ultimate end of suffering is moksha, bodhicitta necessarily involves a motivation to help others to awaken (to find bodhi).

One for whom bodhicitta is the prime motivation for all actions is called a bodhisattva.

How is one to practice?

Not allowing free rein to ordinary thoughts.

Master them with mindfulness.

Then to completely purify the entire field of your action.

Emptiness with compassion as its very essence.

Develop gentle love and the rest of the four boundless qualities,

especially the miraculous great compassion.

He actually didn’t put much importance on spiritual experiences. His emphasis was reducing egoistic selfishness through love, and the power of his influence was that he exemplified it sincerely. His motto was “Mastery in Servitude,” which was put on his tomb.

"in this active sense, the function of mapping is less to mirror reality than to engender the re-shaping of the worlds in which people live"
"so when you map kids' energies are you reshaping your world?"
"I'm hoping to reshape the world we share.  to be peaceful  harmonious."
