A bodhisattva's job description:

"If you're an artist, you make paintings
If you're a sculptor, you make sculptures.
If you are a carpenter, you make beautiful tables.


But if you are a bodhisattva, you make happiness in other people.  And that's what you do for a living.  That's your product. What you produce is happiness in other people's hearts.  And that's your job.  That's what you do.  People say, what's your product?  What do you make in your factory?  You say, we make happiness, happiness in other people's hearts." - Geshe Michael Roach, ACI Course 11, Meditation chapter recording #3, 1997, NYC.
