The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 161


Since Mahayana bodhicitta surpasses
every virtuous state of mind of the non-buddhists,
the sravakas, and the pratyekabuddhas,
it is therefore praised by the guru buddhas

The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 146


How could the surpassing intention
of the ordinary person, the sravakas,
and the two types of pratyekabuddhas
ever attain to the level of Mahayana bodhicitta?

on account of Mahayana bodhicitta

The Jewel Lamp: A Praise to Bodhicitta Verse 65


If even the Buddha does not take the full

that ordinary sravakas, pratyekabuddhas,
and the finest aryas do not either.
