In differentiating the three bodhis: as the Sūtra on Requesting Avalokiteśvara states, 'Cultivate the three kinds of pure bodhicitta'—this refers to cultivating the mind by taking as objects the minds of persons of the three vehicles, which is subsumed under expedient bodhi. If one gives rise to bodhicitta with the real principle of true suchness as object, or gives rise to bodhicitta with the Tathāgata's wisdom in expounding the Dharma as object, or gives rise to bodhicitta with the Tathāgata's supernatural transformations as object, these are also not what is employed here. The Mañjuśrī-paripṛcchā-prajñāpāramitā-sūtra states: 'Non-arising is the arising of bodhicitta. Furthermore, if one arising is all arisings, that is the arising of bodhicitta. Furthermore, if it is neither one nor all, yet both one and all, that is the arising of bodhicitta.' Bodhicitta such as this is three while being one, and is entirely what is employed here. One discusses three in the one, and discusses one in the three (and so forth).
