2.16

General origin: When a bodhisattva sees all suffering sentient beings, they give rise to great benevolence and compassion; although this mind is not itself the bodhi-mind, it can generate the bodhi-mind. For example, although earth and water are not the seed, they can cause the sprout to grow; now, generating the bodhi-mind on account of great compassion is also like this.
