Descriptionངོ་སྤྲོད།

The Trisaṃvarakrama ("Stages of the Three Vows") is a short liturgical text by the Indian master Niṣkalaṅkavajra presenting the sequential ritual procedures for a householder bodhisattva to take the three vows: the one-day upavāsa precepts, the lay upāsaka vows (modeled on the five precepts of the arhats), and the generation of bodhicitta. The bodhicitta section distinguishes between the conventional aspiration and its ultimate aspect, to be cultivated through meditation. The text was translated into Tibetan by the Indian scholar Atulyadāsa together with the great translator Blo ldan shes rab.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩

Arhat - A person who has reached nirvāṇa by eliminating the three poisons of attachment, hatred and ignorance having followed the path of seeking individual liberation as a Śrāvaka or a Pratyekabuddha. An arhat, thus, is a person who has overcome the cause of rebirth in the cycle of existence and will not take an ordinary birth again. Skt अर्हत्  Tib དགྲ་བཅོམ་པ།  Ch 阿羅漢
