The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 149


In his Alamkara*, Ajita explained
the bodhicitta of the bodhisattvas,
starting with the one that is like the earth
up to the one that is like a cloud.
-- The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Khunu Rinpoche
*The Ornament is the Abhisamayalamkara by Ajita Maitreya

The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 124

Bodhicitta unsettles even the great
vastness of the firm earth.
It is difficult indeed to comprehend the power 
of it, similar as it is to a wish-fulfilling gem.
--The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta  Khunu Rinpoche
