勸發菩提心集 3.20

3.20

Next, instruct them to arouse the bodhicitta, saying: "The mind of bodhi is broadly limitless, but in brief it has three kinds: first, the mind of revulsion toward the conditioned; second, the mind of joyous seeking of bodhi; third, the mind of deep concern for sentient beings. The mind of revulsion toward the conditioned means explaining in detail the faults of saṃsāra, causing deep revulsion to arise. Five things resemble the great ocean of saṃsāra: it receives the name 'great ocean' because, first, its extent is limitless; second, it is extremely deep; third, it is difficult to cross; fourth, it cannot be drunk; and fifth, it is the dwelling place of great treasures. The mind of seeking bodhi means explaining in detail all the virtues of the three bodies of bodhi, causing joyous seeking to arise. The mind of deep concern for sentient beings means explaining in detail the equal perception of enemies and friends, causing compassionate pity to arise together with the resolution to deliver them."
