To generate the bodhicitta, one must give rise to contemplation: first focus on those dear to you, and at the time of tying mindfulness, be mindful of one's own parents, teachers, elders, and relatives; also be mindful of the hells, hungry ghosts, and animals; also be mindful of all the devas, immortals, and all good spirits; also be mindful of all human beings in the human destiny—how shall those who are undergoing suffering be saved? Having seen them, give rise to contemplation and form this thought: 'Only the great mind can pull out their suffering.' If one contemplation is accomplished, one should form a second contemplation; when the second contemplation is accomplished, one should form a third contemplation; when the third contemplation is accomplished, form the contemplation filling a single room; when the single room is accomplished, fill one yojana; when one yojana is filled, fill Jambudvīpa; when Jambudvīpa is filled, fill the three continents; gradually expanding in this way, fill the worlds of the ten directions. See the sentient beings of the eastern direction as all being one's fathers; the sentient beings of the western direction as all being one's mothers; the sentient beings of the southern direction as all being one's elder brothers; the sentient beings of the northern direction as all being one's younger brothers; the sentient beings of the nadir as all being one's sisters; the sentient beings of the zenith as all being one's teachers and elders; and those of the remaining four intermediate directions as all being śramaṇas, brāhmaṇas, and the like. Having seen this, form the thought: 'If they undergo suffering, I will consider it as my own; I will go to where these persons are, tend to their bodies and massage them, vowing to pull out their suffering.' Having obtained liberation for them, preach the Dharma for them, praising the Buddha, praising the Dharma, and praising the assembly of bodhisattvas. Having made these praises, joy arises in the mind, seeing them receive happiness as no different from oneself. Today, members of the assembly sharing this karmic endeavor in the bodhimaṇḍa! Generating the bodhicitta should be like this: not abandoning suffering, yet delivering sentient beings. Let us all together, with equal anguish, prostrate with the five limbs touching the ground, and in our minds contemplate and with our mouths utter this vow: 'We, \[so-and-so\] and the rest, from this day forth until reaching the bodhimaṇḍa, during the interval, wherever we may take birth, may we encounter kalyāṇamitras and constantly generate the mind of unexcelled bodhi. If in the three wretched paths or fallen into the eight difficulties, may we constantly remember to generate the bodhicitta, causing the bodhicitta to continue without interruption.'
