The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 132

Supreme bodhicitta is master

for it keeps one away from what should not be done;

and leads one to grasp the essential thing, altruism.

The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 82

Bodhicitta is based on understanding that all have served as one's mother

and on recollecting their kindness;

bodhicitta is produced from repaying their kindness,

and from love and compassion;

and bodhicitta is produced from the surpassing intention;

hence it is extremely important to work at these.
