七、明發菩提心者。菩提云「覺」，自覺覺他，故名佛也。行者既在佛法，即佛種子，須發覺求，作意觀度，此乃趣佛果之津梁，成萬行之根本，如空之含萬像，若海之納百川。若不先建此心，起行則便迷沒。是菩提者，其相如何？今欲發心，有理有行，在緣乃二，於義則通。不爾，真俗兩乖，非正法義。

Seven, explaining the arousal of the bodhicitta. Bodhi means 'awakening'; awakening oneself and awakening others, hence one is called a Buddha. Since the practitioner is already in the Buddha's Dharma, they are a seed of the Buddha; they must arouse the quest for awakening, consciously contemplating and delivering [beings]. This is the ford and bridge to the Buddha fruit, the root for accomplishing the myriad practices, like space containing the myriad forms, like the ocean receiving the hundred rivers. If one does not first establish this mind, then upon initiating practice one will become lost and submerged. What is the characteristic of this bodhi? If one now wishes to arouse this mind, there are principle and practice; based on conditions they are two, but in meaning they penetrate each other. Otherwise, ultimate and conventional will contradict each other, which is not the meaning of the true Dharma.
