Jeff Posted June 3, 2015 From the Bodhisattvacharyavata Sutra... 15 In brief, the Awakening Mind Should be understood to be of two types;The mind that aspires to awakenAnd the mind that ventures to do so. 16As is understood by the distinctionBetween aspiring to go and ( actually) going.So the wise understand in turnThe distinction between these two. 17Although great fruits occur in cyclic existenceFrom the mind that aspires to awaken,An uninterrupted flow of merit does not ensueAs it does with the venturing mind. 18And for him who has perfectly seized this mindWith the thought never to turn awayFrom totally liberatingThe infinite forms of life. 19From that time hence,Even while asleep or unconcerned.A force of merit equal to the skyWill perpetually ensue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
