English	This section concerns the ritual whereby the vow of bodhichitta is taken. There are three ways of generating bodhichitta: in the manner of a king, in the manner of a boatman, and in the manner of a shepherd. Whichever of these ways is adopted, the vow is pronounced either according to the tradition[p.131]The Nectar of Manjushri's Speech Blankleder, Helena, and Wulstan Fletcher (Padmakara Translation Group), trans. The Nectar of Manjushri's Speech: A Detailed Commentary on Shantideva's Way of the Bodhisattva. By Kunzang Pelden. Boston: Shambhala Publications, 2010. of Nagarjuna or according to the tradition of Asanga. In the tradition of Asanga, the vows of bodhichitta in intention and bodhichitta in action are taken separately, whereas in the tradition of Nagarjuna, they are taken together. To take the vow from a fully qualified teacher is the best way to engender within oneself a moral conscience and a sense of propriety with regard to the observance of the vow. It is said, however, that if one is unable to take the vow from an authentic master, if nevertheless one pronounces it in the presence of the three representations [of the Buddha’s body, speech, and mind], or of a visualized field of refuge of the Mahayana, one does indeed receive the vow. One does in any case start simply by saying the phrase "Please think of me” three times.112By this, one considers that the Buddhas are invoked and stirred from the ultimate expanse. One then lays the foundation of the vow by taking refuge three times. And if one takes the vows of bodhichitta in intention and in action separately, it is by reciting the first two lines of verse 23 ("Just as all the Buddhas of the past . . .”) and the first two lines of verse 24 ("Likewise, for the benefit of beings . . .”), that one takes the vow of bodhichitta in intention. Then by reciting the last two lines of both verse 23 ("And in the precepts of the Bodhisattvas . . .”) and verse 24 ("And in those precepts. . .”), one takes the vow of bodhichitta in action.

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
