Freeing the Heart & Mind - Part One: Introduction to the Buddhist Path
by Sakya Trizin
Wisdom Publications, Boston, Massachusetts, 2011 170 pages
Whatever practice we do, the direction in which it will lead us depends on our primary motivation. Since having an improper motivation is very harmful, cultivating a suitable motivation - the highest motivation - is of utmost importance. The highest motivation for receiving teachings is to attain full enlightenment not just for the sake of ourselves but for the sake of all sentient beings. Thus, think that you are receiving these teachings in order to accomplish this altruistic aim.
