Praises on Bodhicitta 36 – 40

(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.

(38)
When the foundation of compassion is solid,
the great tree of Bodhicitta will thrive
and bear abundant fruits of benefit and bliss;
sentient beings will celebrate for the bumper harvest.

(39)
Bodhicitta brings out the wonder of body;
Bodhicitta brings out the wonder of speech;
Bodhicitta brings out the wonder of mind.
Bodhi is the wonder of all.

(40)
When there is Bodhicitta,
countries prosper, people live happily at peace,
beings such as devas, nāgas, yakṣas,
all rejoice over it.
