"Liking" is greed, "disliking" is anger | Avatamsaka Sutra - Lesson 673

The Avatamsaka Sutra emphasizes the Bodhisattva's profound compassion and responsibility towards all living beings. Through the metaphor of a regal tree flourishing in barren landscapes, it illustrates the interconnectedness of Bodhisattvas and all beings, illustrating the pathway from compassion to enlightenment. The sutra elaborates on cultivating virtues and wisdom, making vows to benefit all, and the commitment to enlightenment practices as a means to serve and uplift humanity, culminating in the aspiration to achieve Bodhi and ultimate liberation.
