English	To dissipate the veils of ignorance—no other means is there than knowing suchness. Suchness of phenomena admits no fraction or division. The subject, mind, that knows it so is likewise undivided. And thus the Buddha taught us with a single matchless vehicle.83Chandrakirti, Madhyamakavatara, chap. 11, v. 45, p. 111.

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
