Absolute bodhichitta, also known as shunyata, is the open dimension of our being, the completely wide-open heart and mind. Without labels of "you" and "me," "enemy" and "friend," absolute bodhicitta is always here. Cultivating absolute bodhiccita means having a relationship with the world that is nonconceptual, that is unprejudiced, having a direct, unedited relationship with reality.
