Begin with love and companion 

When a virtuous teacher carries out the acts of benefiting others,surely a lot of setbacks and difficulties shall be encountered. Doing gooddeeds does not guarantee a smooth sailing. Despite of all the challenges, a virtuousteacher strives on. This is what is meant by the true generation of Bodhicitta.  

It is the unfavorable conditions, one after another, that strengthenone’s original aspiration, build up one’s wisdom and bring about blessings. Itis in swimming against the tide that a virtuous teacher grows to be more sereneand more powerful.

To benefit sentient beings, one needs skill-in-means as well asfortune and wisdom. Taking the opposite side is not the way. A virtuous teacherdoes not benefit others through being critical and demanding for change.Instead, he starts from being there with love and from planting good seeds.Surely, great compassion and wisdom are also desirable for such a virtuousteacher.
