Bodhisattvas are predisposed to good intentions; they think that they should first seek the awakening of all beings, not their own. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to higher intentions; they become rich through the perfection of other beings’ purposes, not through the perfection of their own. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to practice; they are not wearied but excited about taking incalculable eons to perfect each and every virtue associated with the factors of awakening. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to generosity; they will even give up their head, the most excellent of limbs, and use it to benefit beings. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to discipline; they will not forsake beings with poor discipline. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to patience; they do not fear any māra. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to diligence; they do not grow weary while achieving awakening for all beings. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to meditative concentration; they are not disturbed by any sounds or the need to act. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to insight; they see all phenomena as equal to a buddha’s awakening. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to emptiness; they do not remain in saṃsāra. Bodhisattvas are predisposed to great compassion; they do not pass into nirvāṇa. “Blessed One, I wonder if this is a discourse on the Dharma? Blessed One do you consider my discourse on the Dharma to be in accord with those already given?” The Blessed One replied, “Rāhula, your Dharma discourse is in accord.” - [Previous: 6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.6.4) - [Next: 6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.6.6) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.6) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་ཆོས་ཡང་དག་པར་སྡུད་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo.6.5-6) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.6.5) · Pramāṇa
