English	You will not be able to attain enlightenment by relying only on your own ideas and being totally independent. It is true that pratyekabuddhas51Pratyekabuddhas (rang sangs rgyas): “those who attain buddhahood by themselves.” With the shravakas they constitute the sangha of the Basic Vehicle. are said to be able to achieve liberation by themselves; but the fact that they have no spiritual teacher in their present life does not mean they did not have one in the past. Pratyekabuddhas, indeed, attend spiritual teachers and receive their teachings over countless lives. For each and every practice of sutra and tantra, an explanation from a qualified teacher is necessary.[p.71]The Thirty Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva (Khenpo Gawang) Gawang, Khenpo, and Gerry Wiener, trans.

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
