English	And, [IX.53] Thus, with this position of emptiness . . . 9.53 It says several times that one should meditate on emptiness; I will say a bit here about the reason for this. Even if you wish for just liberation, then you should meditate on special insight after cultivating the wisdom that unerringly ascertains the reality of selflessness. This is because even non-Buddhists have a mere calm abiding that is nonconceptual, clear, and free from laxity and agitation. They are also able to perform minor miracles and achieve paranormal powers (mngon shes) based on that. Mere calm abiding just temporarily suppresses some of the manifest afflictions, but it cannot eliminate their potentials and is not able to counter in the slightest the apprehension of a self that is the root of existence.

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
