The vow to lead the extraordinary life of the changchub sempa is the determined commitment to practice, not for ourselves – but for all beings. We make the vow to renounce the atttainment of nonduality until all beings realise their nondual nature. It’s a paradox. In fact it’s actually quite funny. The expansive good heart and open warmth we generate through our intention, projects us inevitably towards our goal – through the practice of giving up our goal.
