Praises on Bodhicitta 76 – 80

(76)
Attaining the enlightenment of Prajna,
Is one aspect of Bodhicitta;
The five kinds of visions and six supernatural powers,
All derived from Bodhicitta.

(77)
Having this, Buddhahood is attainable,
Lacking this, it is unattainable,
The wonderful jewel of Bodhicitta,
Bestow blessings for its rise in mind.

(78)
Rainbow appears after the rain,
Fresh flower blooms in frigid cold winter,
People claim as auspicious signs,
To benefit sentient beings is what surpasses these all.

(79)
The value of Bodhicitta,
Cannot be carried by the massive earth,
Cannot be contained by the vessel of space,
Yet sentient beings are capable of learning it.

(80)
In the flash of a second like snapping a finger,
One gives rise to Bodhicitta,
Grave sins absolve instantly,
All virtues come to perfection.
