View submission: What motivates you to practice?
The four great bodhisattva vows resonate with me as to why I practice. I end each meditation session by reciting these three times. This is the practice I learned at the temple where I attend services.
Four Great Bodhisattva Vows
Beings are numberless; I vow to free them.
Delusions are inexhaustible; I vow to end them.
Dharma gates are boundless; I vow to enter them.
The Buddha way is unsurpassable; I vow to embody it.

Funny I always say “Buddhahood is unattainable, I vow to attain it”.
