Three Doors to Freedom

The Compassionate Heart of the Enlightened Mind: "Bodhicitta"

It is the supreme elixir
That overcomes the sovereignty of death.
It is the inexhaustible treasure
That eliminates poverty in the world.
It is the supreme medicine
That quells the world’s disease.
It is the tree that shelters all beings
Wandering and tired on the path of conditioned existence.
It is the universal bridge
That leads to freedom from unhappy states of birth.
It is the dawning moon of the mind
That dispels the torment of disturbing conceptions.
It is the great sun that finally removes
The misty ignorance of the world.

~ SHANTIDEVA, the Peace Master

Here a monk exemplifies this process by finding a fresh new way to make the teachings accessible to today's audience: BBC News: Buddhist monk becomes pop star.
