Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva holds a purification vase in the left hand, and forms a mudra of speaking the Dharma with the right hand, teaching sentient beings to “refrain from all unwholesomeness and uphold all wholesomeness.” Besides practicing virtues through self-discipline, one should often help the world and benefit others with diligence.
“If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher.”
Pema-Chodron
