THE MERITORIOUS QUALITIES OF THE BODHI-MIND:

 

You should know that the Bodhi-mind is completely equal to all the merit and virtue of all dharmas taught by the Buddha.

 

Why? It is because the Bodhi-mind produces all practices of the Bodhisattvas. It is because the Thus Comes Ones of the past, present, and future are born from the Bodhi-mind. Therefore, good young man, if there are those who have brought forth the resolve for Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi,9 they have already given birth to infinite merit and virtue and are universally able to collect themselves and remain on the path of All-wisdom…

 

Good young man, it is just the way a single lamp, if brought into a dark room, is able to totally eradicate a hundred thousand years of darkness.

The lamp of the Bodhi-mind of the Bodhisattva, Mahasattva10 is that way too, in that upon its entering the room which is the mind of a living being, the various dark obstacles of all the karmic afflictions11 from hundreds of quadrillions of ineffable numbers of eons can all be totally destroyed.12
