| A detail of the "Beautiful Bodhicitta" |
A person who has Bodhicitta (awakened mind) aspires to become enlightened for the benefit all beings, for their ultimate happiness and liberation. When a person reaches that level of unconditional love, compassion and understanding, he or she can then be called a Bodhisattva.

Calligraphy in Chinese ink, Japanese mineral paint, on a wash of pure saffron depicting a landscape of the sun and clouds over mountains and foot-hills, river and the sea.
The Tibetan Drutsa script translates.....
“As a river to the sea,
as the sea to the clouds,
as clouds to the land,
So does Bodhicitta beautify this world.”
A praise of Bodhicitta from “This Jewel Lamp” composed by Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen in Varanasi, India.
