1.34

The sūtra speaks thus. Now, this text briefly distinguishes their characteristics, wherein there are two [aspects]: first, explaining the primary cause; second, explaining the auxiliary conditions. What is called the "primary cause" refers to generating the supreme bodhicitta—that is, not wishing for worldly wealth and pleasures nor the bodhi of the two vehicles, but a bodhisattva single-mindedly aspiring to the bodhi of the three bodies; this is named the supreme bodhicitta. Although this is the general indication, within it there are two kinds: first, generating the mind in accordance with phenomena; second, generating the mind in conformity with principle.
