As He Has Nothing to Attain, He Is A Bodhisattva

Bodhisattva. Enlightened Person! Great Being!

In Chinese, “Sentient Being of Great Heart.”

He enters the Three Ways, takes our suffering on himself;

Unbidden, he proceeds joyfully through every realm;

Vowing never to accept the meager fruits of partial truth

He pursues higher enlightenment while working to save others.

The vast void of boundless space might cease to be, still he’d

Urge his vow-wheel on forever to save the ignorant multitudes.
