Having taken refuge, produced bodhicitta,

and amassed the two accumulations of merit

and wisdom, why shouldn't I obtaincompletely unsurpassable enlightenment?

--The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Khunu Rinpoche

Bodhicitta is the desire to obtain the state

of enlightenment for the sake of sentient beings

equal to space. How could anyone else compare

with someone who is endowed with it?

--The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Khunu Rinpoche

If you do not have bodhicitta, then even though

you have some other spiritual practice

you will not become enlightened. If you do not have

the life power, the other sense powers do not function.
