To be honest with you, I have actually helped VERY FEW people that I know of. I have been busy surviving with hubby. I am afraid I am now showing signs of cognitive impariment. I am definitely NOT a boddhissatva but I did take my vow in 2003 or 2002. And I have been super good to animals. So I have upheld my vows of boddhissatva for REAl with ALL animals encountered in this lifetime.
My sister will see me as a bodhissatva (we all need to be inspired and that is very much the point). Sister has a very tough life for once next time and gets killed at 16 years old. She will be the second child of the black actress who will become nurse then nun at the death of current sister. I am very very relieved that I will be practicing less selfishness once I am a mother and a very good one at that. To all my newly met friends from the hospital: God really does not care if we go out of the way and are heros or not.
