"Meditation on benevolent love begins with your friends and loved ones. Its object is the desire that they find happiness. Little by little, you extend the scope of your meditation to include strangers and even our enemies. Accustomed to compassion, you gradually engender the spontaneous desire to liberate all beings. Therefore, having become familiar with this desire and taking compassion as a basis, meditate on the spirit of bodhicitta awakening. "

"Bodhichitta has two levels: the conventional and the last. The conventional bodhichitta consists of cultivating the initial thought that aspires to reach the condition of Buddha in an unsurpassed and perfectly achieved way, in order to help all wandering beings, after have taken the compassionate vow to relieve them all from suffering.Conventional bodhichitta should be cultivated in the manner described in the Bodhisattavabhumi chapter on ethics, that is, engender such a state of mind by assuming the bodhisattva vow before a teacher who preserves the precepts of the bodhisattva.

After you have engendered the spirit of conventional awakening, endeavor to cultivate the spirit of ultimate awakening of bodhicitta. The ultimate bodhichitta is transcendent and free from all elaboration. It is extremely clear, it is the object of the last, without stains, unshakable, similar to a lamp that does not oscillate in the wind "
