Praises on Bodhicitta 81 – 88
The merits of Bodhicitta,
So wonderful and inconceivable;
How shall one practice Bodhi,
Study Bodhicaryāvatāra in detail.
The merits of Bodhicitta,
So wonderful and inconceivable;
How shall one practice Bodhi,
Study Bodhicaryāvatāra in detail.
Attaining the enlightenment of Prajna,
Is one aspect of Bodhicitta;
The five kinds of visions and six supernatural powers,
All derived from Bodhicitta.
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.
The wise shall not be led on by the fool. This is the primary principle of being a wise man. However, he shall not in turn criticize or show contempt for the fool either.
One is to be a candid and genuine person, who speaks the truth. Having met this basic condition, one can bravely point out the chaos outside. This is called the definition of wisdom.
Cannot take in meaningful words, yet strongly believe in nonsensical rumors. This is the characteristic of foolishness.
Violate Bodhisattva Vow,
Repentance can clear and pay off;
Golden urn though broken,
Can still be recast.
Today, I sent my greetings to my teacher Khenchen Pema Sherab through lama Urgyen’s WeChat: “Happy New Year. I have recovered already.”
