Praises on Bodhicitta 21 – 25

(21)
The great compassion inspires Bodhicitta.
Bodhicitta is the great compassion.
The rare and extraordinary nondual wisdom,
is borned by the mother of Bodhicitta.

(22)
If one does not have Bodhicitta,
being articulate and eloquent,
or having the appearance of dignity and propriety,
will beget no benefits but harms.

(23)
The fabricated Bodhicitta,
albeit not naturally born,
both men and devas alike, should worship with reverence,
thus spoke Buddha himself.

(24)
The luminous sun and moon radiate in the sky,
While the illuminating Bodhicitta rests in the mind.
The glorious lotus flowers afloat majestically in the pond,
Like the adorned and dignified Bodhicitta in sentient beings.

(25)
When one has generated Bodhicitta,
everyday will be a virtuous day;
all constellations will be auspicious;
everything and all matters will be fortunate.
