In one of the chants recited by monks and nuns during the morning service there is the expression, “opening the door of action.” This refers to entering the dimension of action through the practice of the Six Paramitas. The Six Paramitas are called the doors of action because this practice is the basis of the bodhisattva path. Not only Sadaparibhuta, Avalokiteśvara, Samantabhadra, and the other great bodhisattvas we’ve met in the pages of the Lotus Sutra, but also you, I, and every one of us can be Buddha’s disciple and friend and serve as a bodhisattva to help bring peace, joy, and stability to the world.
