Praises on Bodhicitta 11 – 15
Without Bodhicitta,
neither virtuous deeds such as chanting,
nor achievement of high realization such as Dzogchen and Mahamudra,
can become the cause to attaining Buddhahood.

We have no fear for a showdown between the good and the evil, when there’s such a confrontation, the good will always win, and the evil will certainly lose.
To all the monks and nuns who have received the honorary title of Khenpo,
The concept of arousing Bodhicitta in Mahayana Buddhism doesn’t mean that we don’t need to give due considerations to ourselves
If our evil thoughts can create samsara of the Three Realms, then why can’t our virtuous minds create Pure Land of the Three Bodies?
When it comes to abiding by the law of causality,
Take eating meat as an example, the sinful karma of those who eat meat is even heavier than those who kill. It is because of those who want to eat meat (demand), that people kill and sell meat (supply).
Manjushri can neither bestow wisdom upon you, nor lend it to you. You are not able to buy it from him either. Then what shall we do?
Bodhicitta is like the sun,
eradicating the darkness of ignorance.
Bodhi can compare with the clear and cool moon,
extinguishing the suffering of blaze.
Blessed we are…
With two hands to clasp in front of us
for paying respect to Buddha,
With two legs to worship Buddha
