Summary

This text discusses the practices and intentions of Bodhisattvas, contrasting them with those of Arhats. It outlines the different stages and paths towards enlightenment, highlighting the importance of compassion, wisdom, and skillful means for Bodhisattvas aiming to liberate all beings. It emphasizes that Bodhisattvas delay their own liberation to help others and cultivate virtues like giving, morality, and patience to attain Buddhahood. Certain obstacles and beneficial practices for achieving enlightenment are identified, alongside characteristics that distinguish Bodhisattvas from those seeking individual liberation.
