The Eighty-third Gate
The bodhi-mind is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we are not separated from the Three Treasures.
Bodhi-mind ( bodhicitta ) :
Awakened mind. way-seeking mind, the will to the truth.
Gatha:
May we together with all buddhas
Aspire to the Bodhi mind
That we may be bonded with the Three Treasures
May this offering bring peace to all beings
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to the present.
