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”.
