1.22

The Section on Retrogression from Bodhicitta. There are four causes and conditions that can cause a bodhisattva to retrogress from bodhicitta: first, not being fully endowed with the gotra; second, being influenced by bad friends; third, having weak and meager compassion toward sentient beings; fourth, feeling fear, dread, and terror toward the great suffering and difficult austerities of saṃsāra over an extremely long time.
