What is the essence of morality?

In short, it is treating others with respect. Acting with kindness. Speaking up when necessary. Dispelling sorrow. Relieving suffering. Providing protection. Giving encouragement. Showing gratitude. Recognizing one’s mistakes. Benefiting others with a calm mind, a warm heart and a firm regard for all.

Arya Asanga’s Bodhisattvabhumi is the Mahayana tradition’s most comprehensive manual on the practice and training of bodhisattvas. According to Asanga, it is a compilation of the full range of instructions contained in the entire collection of Mahayana sutras. It’s considered a primary source of guidance on bodhisattva ethics, vows, and practices, as well as a summary of the ultimate goal of the bodhisattva path: supreme enlightenment.
