Praises on Bodhicitta 01 – 05
(1)
The wonderful jewel of Bodhicitta,
and the paths taken by all Buddhas,
are the treasures that could bring benefit and joy to the sentient beings.
I therefore prostrate with reverence.
(2)
If you want to attain bliss in this life,
please arouse Bodhicitta.
If you wish to achieve Buddhahood in the next life,
you should arouse Bodhicitta.
(3)
Those who want to get quickly away
from the great sea of sufferings,
shall build a boat of Bodhi,
and sail to Paramita.
(4)
All behaviours,
such as zeal, diligence and practices of Buddha Dharma,
if not accompanied with Bodhicitta,
the results will be little and negligible.
(5)
Prostrate on Bodhicitta,
offer to Bodhicitta,
pray for Bodhicitta,
and wish to attain Bodhicitta.
