Bodhisattvas’ (Compassion) Practices -30

30

If one lacks wisdom, it is impossible to atttain enlightenment through the other five perfections. Thus, cultivating skillful means that do not discriminate among the three spheres is the Bodhisattvas’ practice.

Modern Translation

The Six Far-Reaching Attitudes

(30)

A bodhisattva’s practice is to build up as a habit
The discriminating awareness that’s together with methods
and which has no conceptions about the three circles,
Because without discriminating awareness,
the five far-reaching attitudes
Cannot bring about the attainment of complete enlightenment.

(Bodhisattva  — In Tibetan Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is anyone who is motivated by compassion and seeks enlightenment not only for him/herself but also for everyone…)
