Description
The Trikālabuddhadṛṣṭi ("Beholding the Buddhas of the Three Times") is a short liturgical text presenting the ritual procedure for generating bodhicitta. Following a preliminary refuge, the practitioner formally arouses the mind of awakening by invoking the example of past buddhas and bodhisattvas of the great grounds, framing the aspiration as a precious gift offered to the teacher. The ritual concludes with a dedication of merit accumulated through generosity, discipline, and meditation across all lifetimes. The closing colophon attributes the text to the master Mañjuśrīmitra, although it is catalogued as anonymous.
