It is said as if not certain. Root text: Bodhicitta arises from the three powers, great compassion, accumulation of merit, and taking refuge. Thinking and action are said to be the power of the cause. That is to say, the power of thought arises from the great compassion, and the accumulation of merit through action, the power of the cause, arises from taking special refuge. In particular, relying on the accumulation of merit, the Mahayana mind arises. Previously, when the Buddha was named 'Famous,' he offered a silk parasol to the Buddha Electric Lamp. When the Sugata Radiant One became a beggar, he offered an oil lamp to the Buddha Amitabha and generated the mind of enlightenment, etc. It is important to contemplate these things. At all times, one should strive to not interrupt the sequence of accumulating merit, such as the seven branches. Root text: Two types of individuals who are the basis are shown: either holding any of the seven types of Pratimoksha vows, or with the Three Jewels as the main basis of thought, following the Middle Way is vast. This means that, in general, the generation of bodhicitta exists in both the Great and Small Vehicles, but there are no rituals or practices for it. Here, in the Mahayana, there are two systems: the Mind-Only School and the Middle Way School. According to the former, one must possess any one of the seven types of Pratimoksha vows, and according to the latter, if one can abandon only the taking of life and has faith and compassion, it is said that it is permissible to bestow the precepts of bodhicitta. Root text: Accumulating merit is a special method for arising, all causes are the Sugata-garbha, the condition is to rely greatly on a virtuous friend, a supreme lama like a wish-fulfilling jewel, one who is filled with the lineage of the mind of enlightenment. That is to say, the vows of a novice monk arise from the preceptor and the acharya, the vows of a fully ordained monk arise from the faithful sangha, and the precious mind of enlightenment is said to arise only from the accumulation of merit. Therefore, one must offer the Three Jewels without hypocrisy, displaying whatever one has. Previously, when Jowo Dipamkara asked the Tibetan patrons to generate the mind of enlightenment, he was displeased with the small offerings and returned to his room twice. Finally, when they piled up all their possessions and offered them, he said that it was still just about acceptable. Therefore, one should divide one's possessions into three parts, two parts for offering to the Three Jewels and the lama, and one part for oneself.

因为说可以行持，所以努力积聚资粮是特别生起菩提心的方法。而且，原因是所有众生都具有如酥油遍布牛奶般如来藏的体性，但助缘是必须以极大的恭敬心依止善知识。因此，应当从如意宝般的、对教法和众生具有极大助益、特别是内心充满珍贵菩提心的上师那里接受学处。如果没有找到这样的上师，也可以观想佛和菩萨在面前，然后接受学处。像这样接受之后，就像水银显现为黄金，一两水银能将千两铁变成黄金一样，菩提心生起这种如水银般殊胜的力量，能使如铁矿般的业和烦恼全部耗尽。 根本颂：最初、中间、最后之善法，胜于装饰与树木之庄严，宣说无量菩提心之功德。 这里是为了修习心，首先是对轮回的过患感到厌倦，中间是对解脱的利益感到欢喜，最后是对以空性和慈悲心善加调伏的相续对大乘感到欢喜，对于这些，之前已经宣说了胜于装饰和树木庄严的菩提心无量功德，虽然说必须宣说，但总的来说，佛陀的一切法和佛陀的一切功德都包含在内，并且菩提心的功德和利益是相同的。例如，在充满大海水、母牛、水牛和山羊奶等的水中，滴入一滴狮子的奶，其他所有的奶都会逃逸、分离，无法混合。同样，从无量劫以来积累的一切业和烦恼，都会因为生起殊胜菩提心的力量而逃逸、分离，不会产生恶行的异熟果，也不会聚集小乘的思维和行为。此外，进入菩萨的车辆中，享用五种妙欲的人，如果没有其他的驾车人，如来也可以驾驭。即使是像声闻二圣这样的人，也不能这样做。这是为什么呢？

Because it is said that it can be practiced, striving to accumulate merit is said to be a special method for generating Bodhicitta. Moreover, the reason is that all sentient beings possess the essence of the Sugata, like butter pervading milk, but the condition is that one must rely on a virtuous spiritual friend with great respect. Therefore, one should take vows from a Lama who is like a wish-fulfilling jewel, who has great benefit for the teachings and beings, and especially whose mind is filled with precious Bodhicitta. If such a Lama is not found, it is said that one can visualize the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in front of oneself and then take the vows. Having taken them in this way, just as mercury appears as gold, and one ounce of mercury can turn a thousand ounces of iron into gold, the arising of Bodhicitta, like the supreme mercury, will completely exhaust all karmas and afflictions, which are like iron ore. Root verse: The virtues of Bodhicitta, which are said to be superior to ornaments and the arrangement of trees, are praised immeasurably in the beginning, middle, and end of virtuous dharmas. Here, for the sake of mind training, first, one is weary of the faults of samsara; in the middle, one rejoices in the benefits of liberation; and finally, one rejoices in the Great Vehicle, having well-trained the mind with emptiness and compassion. For these, it has already been said that the immeasurable virtues of Bodhicitta, which are superior to ornaments and the arrangement of trees, must be praised. In short, all the Buddha's teachings and all the Buddha's qualities are included, and the virtues and benefits of Bodhicitta are said to be the same. For example, if one drop of lion's milk is poured into a great ocean filled with the milk of cows, buffaloes, and goats, all the other milk will flee and separate, unable to mix. Similarly, all the karmas and afflictions accumulated from countless eons will flee and separate by the power of generating supreme Bodhicitta, and will not produce the ripening of misdeeds, nor will they gather the thoughts and actions of the Lesser Vehicle. Furthermore, if there is no other driver for someone who has entered the vehicle of a Bodhisattva and enjoys the five objects of desire, the Tathagata can also drive it. However, even someone like the two supreme Hearers cannot do so. Why is that?

而且菩萨产生如来，如来产生声闻缘觉，因此而有差别。根本偈：擦拭熏香美观的处所，用藏红花香水和侍者清洗面容，心中只想着三宝，喜欢播撒供养的种子而欢喜。这是说，远离罪恶过失，具备善妙功德的处所要打扫干净，擦拭熏香以显示美观，即用藏红花香水和侍者清洗面容，好好涂抹，不与世间八法混杂，只喜欢供养三宝，以欢喜和愉悦的心情，实际供养五种供品等清净丰盛的物品，不被吝啬沾染，像这样，甚至用难以想象的方式变幻出供养的云，显现出播撒供养的种子，如同天人和阿修罗的大军降临在平原上一般，陈设出无法估量的光彩和光芒。根本偈：将所有誓言的形象都召唤到那里，迎请智慧尊的仪轨是，比忆起亲密誓言还要快，诸佛看到其他刹土也会放下。这是说，将所有誓言的形象，即所有身语意所依，迎请到那个处所安住后，迎请智慧尊的仪轨是，不是口头上念诵任何迎请词，而是从内心深处生起信心来迎请，因为比忆起与自己亲密无间的挚友和约定的誓言还要快，诸佛会因为珍爱我而光临，因此会放下观看其他刹土。“遥”的意思是放下。这里将根本偈和注释合在一起。所谓“凡是”是指成为没有遗漏、没有剩余、没有舍弃的众生的怙主和依怙，同时也是阻断解脱道的魔众的敌人，是指如实了知胜义谛和如所有了知世俗谛的诸法而毫无阻碍的作者。摧伏四魔，具备六度的诸佛，请光临我的居所，即这个处所，恳请降临。而且，这不是以业和神变所变幻的化身，而是

Moreover, Buddhas are born from Bodhisattvas, and Hearers and Solitary Realizers are born from Buddhas, hence the difference. Root verse: Even the place that shows off its beauty with cleansing and incense, Washing the face with saffron perfume and attendants, Thinking of only the Three Jewels in the mind, Rejoicing and delighting in sowing seeds of offerings. This means that the place, free from the faults of sin and endowed with the glory of virtue, should be cleaned, and cleansing and incense should be used to show off its beauty, that is, washing the face with saffron perfume and attendants, applying it well, not mixing with the eight worldly concerns, only delighting in offering to the Three Jewels, with a joyful and happy mind, actually offering the five kinds of offerings and other pure and abundant things, not tainted by stinginess, like this, even transforming immeasurably with the mind to manifest the sowing of seeds of offerings, displaying immeasurable splendor and radiance, like the great armies of gods and humans descending on the plains. Root verse: Having summoned all the images of vows there, The ritual of inviting and receiving the wisdom being is, Faster than remembering intimate vows, The Buddhas will set aside seeing other realms. This means that all the images of vows, that is, all the supports of body, speech, and mind, are invited to that place and after dwelling there, the ritual of inviting and receiving the wisdom being is, not just reciting any invitation words, but inviting with faith from the depths of the heart, because it is faster than remembering the intimate friend and the vows made with oneself, the Buddhas will come because of their love for me, therefore they will set aside seeing other realms. "Yol" means to set aside. Here the root verse and commentary are combined. The so-called "whoever" refers to becoming the protector and refuge of all beings without omission, remainder, or abandonment, and also becoming the enemy of the hordes of demons who obstruct the path to liberation, referring to the agent who knows and sees all phenomena of the ultimate truth as it is and the conventional truth as it appears, without obstruction. Subduing the four demons and possessing the six perfections, the Buddhas, please come to my dwelling, that is, this place, I urge you to descend. Moreover, this is not a manifestation transformed by karma and magical power, but rather

以三信的虔诚之心，在胜者及其眷属降临之处，即道路上，建有层层叠叠的沐浴亭，散发着芬芳的香气。其中，以各种颜色的水晶和珍宝为地基和柱子等，并悬挂着绿松石、红珊瑚和珍珠的帷幔的殿堂里，迎请谁来安住呢？迎请善逝诸佛以及种姓之子菩萨众。以充满各种妙香香水的珍宝瓶，进行沐浴的仪式，即服侍的妙龄少女，是天人美女的集合，她们竞相献上一个比一个更美妙的歌舞。接近触摸，即精通沐浴仪轨的长眼睛的鹿女们，用擦拭的丝绸，如同天界的幡旗般，擦拭身体，即擦拭先前沐浴过的地方，并殷勤地服侍。丝绸的颜色并非只有一种，而是如彩虹般色彩缤纷，象征着诸根。这如同编织般的，没有普通瑕疵的，由等持所化现的天物，从何处而来呢？是从自心的力量中显现，称为力量所购。如果天界的如意树能生出任何想要的食物和衣服，那么就称之为树木所售的幡旗，以买卖获得的名称来命名。这又是舍弃了沉重的缺点，具有轻薄柔软优点的上等丝绸。用妙香和香水涂抹，此外，还有适合大菩萨的，价值无法估量，难以启齿的珍宝饰品，如手脚上的镯子、臂钏、耳环、丝绸的头饰等等。即使是舍弃了欲望功德的能仁，也如饥饿的饿鬼般，为了我们积聚福德，而接受这些，并祈愿圆满资粮。以及世间自在等八大近子，和度脱恶趣等贤劫十六菩萨，还有持居家之相的菩萨法胜和常啼以及离垢光等，都将供养。

With the devotion of the three faiths, at the place where the Victorious Ones and their retinue arrive, that is, on the path, bathing pavilions are built in layers, emitting fragrant scents. There, with foundations and pillars made of various colors of crystal and jewels, and with canopies of turquoise, red coral, and pearls hanging, who is invited to reside? The Sugata Buddhas and the sons of the lineage, the assembly of Bodhisattvas. From jeweled vases filled with various fragrant scented waters, the ritual of bathing is performed, that is, the service is performed by perfectly formed maidens, a collection of beautiful daughters of gods and humans, who strive to compete in offering songs and music, each more exquisite than the last. Approaching and touching, that is, the long-eyed deer maidens skilled in the ritual of bathing, wipe with silk cloths, like the banners of the gods, caressing the body, that is, wiping the places previously bathed, and diligently serving. The color of the silk is not just one, but like a rainbow, with various colors, symbolizing the senses. This, like being woven, without ordinary flaws, the divine substance emanated from Samadhi, from where does it come? It arises from the power of one's own mind, called purchased by power. If the wish-fulfilling tree of the gods can produce any desired food and clothing, then it is called the banner sold by the tree, named with the term obtained by trade. This again is the excellent silk that has abandoned the faults of heaviness and possesses the qualities of lightness, thinness, softness, and suppleness. Anointed and smeared with fragrant scents and perfumes, and also, ornaments of precious jewels suitable for great Bodhisattvas, whose value is immeasurable and embarrassing to mention, such as bracelets on the hands and feet, armlets, earrings, silk headbands, and so on. Even the Sage, who has abandoned the qualities of desire, accepts these like a hungry preta, for the sake of accumulating merit for us, and we pray for the completion of the accumulations. And the eight great close sons, such as Lokeshvara, and the sixteen Bodhisattvas of the fortunate aeon, such as the one who leads all out of the lower realms, and the Bodhisattva Dharma Supreme, who holds the form of a householder, and Sadāprarudita, Līlācāravimalagarbha, and others, will be offered.
