The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 135

When the hundred-petaled bodhicitta lotus blooms,
honey bees naturally gather
even though one does not call out,
because their minds are intent on getting pollen

The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 122

Those who want the lotus of high status to bloom
and to taste the honey of the highest good
rely upon the hundred light-rayed sun of bodhicitta,
the supreme origin of the buddhas and their children.

The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 94


Within the lotus is the essential nectar of the flower.
Within the bodhisattva is bodhicitta.
The former is merely beneficial to some.
The latter is supremely beneficial to all.

The nectar discharged from the lotus
is the supreme joy of every bumble bee;
the doctrine that is taught with bodhicitta
is supreme joy of every living being.
