English	Children refers to the sublime bodhisattvas; it shows the precious spiritual community. The bodhisattvas are the children who are born from the buddha’s mind. Children means that they have been born into the family of the buddhas when they have attained the Mahāyāna path of seeing. Also, they are the buddha’s successors when they become buddhas, and at that time they act as buddhas, turning the wheel of Dharma and so on. For these reasons they are called “children.” The way they are born into the family is stated in the Sublime Continuum:

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

Tridharmacakrapravartana - Three successive stages of the Buddhist teachings. Though they are traditionally attributed to the historical Buddha, modern scholarship tends to view them as developmental stages that occurred over the course of an extended period of time, with interludes of several centuries, in which we see major doctrinal shifts often based on seemingly newly emergent scriptural sources.
