Quotation by B. Alan Wallace:
It is possible to integrate one's yearning for truth with one's wish to help others so that they become one's abiding motivation in solitary and active life. This is achieved through the cultivation of a ||spirit of awakening||: the aspiration to attain full spiritual awakening in order to be be of most effective service to others. This longing may lead one into the deepest states of contemplation as well as the most active ways of service. It implicitely acknowledges the interdependence of self and other and the kinship of all that lives, and is the sole motivation with which one can attain the full spiritual awakening of a Buddha. Just as it is the supreme motivation for spiritual practice, so it is the finest incentrive for scientific research. As physics and Buddhism encounter one another in the modern world, it may be in this spirit of awakeneing that they find their deepest affinity and sense of integration.
