Praises on Bodhicitta 61 – 65

(61)
When mind and Bodhicitta collide in harmony,
Apocalypse poses no fear,
Sentient beings shall take refuge,
In none other than Bodhicitta.

(62)
Bhaiṣajya-rāja holds the rarest cure that is haritaki,
The consciousness generates the most extraordinary Bodhicitta.
Light wave travels the fastest in speed,
Bodhicitta is the most sacred and powerful in transporting one to Paramita.

(63)
With a solid foundation of Bodhicitta,
The Three Higher Trainings on discipline, meditation and wisdom,
All merits accumulated from learning, contemplating, and practicing Buddha-Dharma,
Will emerge spontaneously.

(64)
For writers and composers,
The most marvelous words are employed to depict the lotus flower;
For those who benefit sentient beings,
The most dignified are the meaning and principle of Bodhicitta.

(65)
If one holds Bodhicitta,
The discernment of the true Emptiness and Simplicity,
Can be conceived spontaneously without practicing.
Such supreme way to Dharma.
