"The bodhisattva, like the sun, doesn’t get discouraged. If mountains cast their shadows or there are certain places where the sun can’t shine – the sun is not discouraged. It simply shines on whatever is in front of it. The attitude of the bodhisattva is similar to that of the sun: a bodhisattva’s activity is non-judgemental, impartial, relating to whoever is able to benefit. If there is no benefit to others, than that bodhisattva is not actually discouraged by that. The attitude of a bodhisattva is: I will become a great friend of all beings; and although they may place their hopes in me, I do not place my hopes in them. The bodhisattva has no expectations of anything in return from anybody". Lama Zangmo
