Hello dear Instructors,
Let me start with the question.
Is it Bodhichtitta (di I misspelled it?) that gives us willpower?

Accepted Answer
Willpower is developed in all the mechanical kingdoms of nature.
Bodhichitta can only be developed by humanoids, and only by a precise science. Most do not.

I mentioned Bodhichtitta, because thinking about the willpower of Christ, I cannot think of anything else.
So you mean willpower can also be negative? Like coming from the Ego? And if it is true, shouldn't we just get even more our own willpower to do meditate and understand our selves?

Will is dual. It can be selfless (Christic) or selfish (desire, ego).
We cultivate either based on our actions in the moment. It is best to renounce egotistical will for the sake of superior action, since the later transforms us beneficially whereas the former does not.

I understand, thank you. It makes sense. This also relates to karma, since we have to choose our actions. I will read these.
