English	It says that the spirit of awakening is like a father’s seed, and that the wisdom that realizes emptiness is like a mother. The Densely Arrayed (Gaṇḍavyūha) says: “The spirit of awakening is like a seed that produces all the qualities of a buddha.”47I did not locate this passage in the Densely Arrayed. Also, the Ornament of Manifest Realization says that the transcendent perfection of wisdom is the mother of all four sublime beings.[p.44]The Profound Reality of Interdependence Duckworth, Douglas S., trans. The Profound Reality of Interdependence: An Overview of the Wisdom Chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva. By Künzang Sönam. New York: Oxford University Press, 2019. Therefore, wisdom that realizes the emptiness that eliminates the extreme of existence is also in the Hīnayāna, but they do not have the great compassion that eliminates the extreme of peace. For this reason, the paths of the Disciples and Self-Realized Ones can eliminate the extreme of existence, but cannot eliminate the extreme of peace.

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

Hīnayāna - The mainstream teachings and the early schools of Buddhism which primarily taught individual liberation through practice-focused renunciation and monasticism, considered lesser than the later movement of the Greater Vehicle (Mahāyāna), which professed enlightenment for all sentient beings and promoted compassion.

Karuṇā - The profound wish for all sentient beings to be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
