[Treatise:] When a bodhisattva generates this... perceives the dharmakāya.
[Exposition:] The above revealed the characteristics of the aspiration generated upon the completion of practice. Next, the third [part] treats the benefits obtained from generating the aspiration. Within this, there are four: first, revealing superior virtues; second, explaining minor faults; third, harmonizing with provisional teachings; fourth, praising real practice. Within the first, there are again two: first, explaining the merit of self-benefit; later, revealing the merit of benefiting others. This is the first. 'Generating this mind' means generating the aforementioned three kinds of minds. Because the straightforward mind correctly recollects suchness, while the deep mind and compassionate mind aid in revealing suchness, the true nature seems to be revealed; therefore, it is called 'perceiving the dharmakāya in a partial manner.'
