(81) The merits of Bodhicitta, So wonderful and inconceivable; How shall one practice Bodhi, Study Bodhicaryāvatāra in detail.
(82) Bodhicitta the teacher, Eradicates evil karma without a trace, Brings forth virtuous deeds naturally, Views sentient beings with compassion.
(83) Villains delight in drinking and smoking, Lechers delight in searching for beauties, Idlers delight in gambling, The sagacious delight in Bodhicitta.
(76) Attaining the enlightenment of Prajna, Is one aspect of Bodhicitta; The five kinds of visions and six supernatural powers, All derived from Bodhicitta.
(77) Having this, Buddhahood is attainable, Lacking this, it is unattainable, The wonderful jewel of Bodhicitta, Bestow blessings for its rise in mind.
(78) Rainbow appears after the rain, Fresh flower blooms in frigid cold winter, People claim as auspicious signs, To benefit sentient beings is what surpasses these all.
(71) Possessing the bliss of Bodhicitta, Albeit without the fortunes of nagas, Nor the august power of the Brahma, One still stands atop of men and devas.
(72) The Three Realms can be weighed, The vast ocean can be measured with a ladle, The merits of Bodhicitta, Cannot be enumerated to exhaustion even by the Buddha.
(73) Practice solely the Bodhicitta, Saves the need for any additional deeds, Towards all beings in the infinite space, Gives rise to perfect Compassion.
(66) Violate Bodhisattva Vow, Repentance can clear and pay off; Golden urn though broken, Can still be recast.
(67) Flame of wrath attacks and burns the heart, Jealousy divests one of peace, Bodhicitta captures both into submission, How profound and wonderful such jewel of Dharma.
(68) Leaving hand and foot prints on rock walls, Soaring in the sky and floating on water, Can be achieved even by livestock, The almighty, omniscient supernatural power is Bodhicitta.
(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.
(56) If one holds Bodhicitta, Even in the intermediate state between death and rebirth, One would happily stay without fear, Like a crane having found its thirst quenching water.
(57) If there is Bodhicitta, One would be as imperturbable as the Sumeru; Free like a lion king, roaring thunderously at will, Taming and terrifying all the beasts.
(58) One who holds Bodhicitta, Kings are at his disposal, Heavenly dragons sing and roar in the sky, Peacocks delight in flaunting their plumage.
(51) If there isn’t Bodhicitta, One’s accumulations of merits and wisdom, Will “wither” like a plantain tree upon fruition, Making it difficult for one to sail across the Sea of Samsara.
(52) Samantabhadra’s skilful means and sagacious deeds, Manjusri’s courage, bravery and wisdom, Akasagarbha’s infinite repentance for sentient beings, Are all inseparable from Bodhicitta.
(46) As soon as one aroused Bodhicitta, His ātma-grāha (urge for ego-grasping) will be eradicated; As long as one practices with diligence the Bodhisattva’s way to benefit and bring joy to sentient beings, He ought to attain Buddhahood.
(47) It takes three asaṃkhyeyas (the great eons) for a Bodhisattva to attain the ultimate Buddhahood, just as it takes multiple processes to extract the finest cream from milk. For the most sacred and extraordinary Bodhicitta, one must practice with zeal and diligence.
(41) When one is free of selfishness, Anxieties and ailments resulting from suspicion will cease. When one is considerate of others, All sentient beings will rejoice.
(42) Among the vast expanse of sentient beings, For those who revile or defame you, Treasure and cherish them particularly more than others. That Bodhicitta aroused would be the most sacred.
(43) The preeminent Cakravartī, Hasn’t even dreamed of Bodhicitta himself, Yet Bodhicitta’s merits, sanctity and blessedness, hitherto I have come to recognize.
(36) Food is the most essential for the starved; Remedy is the most critical for the sick; Treasure is the most important for the impoverished; Generating Boddhicitta is the most sacred for the sagacious.
(37) If one bears Bodhicitta in mind, one’s practice of the six Paramitas: generosity, discipline, patience, diligence, meditative concentration and wisdom, will become the root cause of attaining Buddhahood.
