Praises on Bodhicitta 66 – 70
(66)
Violate Bodhisattva Vow,
Repentance can clear and pay off;
Golden urn though broken,
Can still be recast.
(67)
Flame of wrath attacks and burns the heart,
Jealousy divests one of peace,
Bodhicitta captures both into submission,
How profound and wonderful such jewel of Dharma.
(68)
Leaving hand and foot prints on rock walls,
Soaring in the sky and floating on water,
Can be achieved even by livestock,
The almighty, omniscient supernatural power is Bodhicitta.
(69)
Seeking to learn, the knowledge of Bodhicitta,
Seeking to contemplate, the knowledge of Bodhicitta,
Seeking to practice, the knowledge of Bodhicitta,
The most sacred and extraordinary knowledge, Bodhicitta.
(70)
Sentient beings, foes or kins,
Impartially view them as parents;
The wonderful jewel of Bodhicitta,
Thus will not be afar.
