The Buddha teaches that all energies make up who we are. We have a choice of what we do or do not cultivate, nourish, and act upon. We become free when we know what action, word, or thought will bear bitter fruit and we don't carry it out. This also means that we can cultivate the energies that enable human beings to become bodhisattvas. Bodhisattvas are not metal or wooden statues to be worshiped. They are living qualities that we all aspire to embody fully.
