English	A king whose predominant concern was the welfare of his subjects would be considered a noble king, while a king who looked after his own welfare and comfort at the expense of his subjects would be judged shameless. Likewise, you should not take refuge with a· narrow-minded concern to attain enlightenment for yourself alone. Throughout your past lives you have been connected with all beings, and at some time or other all of them must have been your loving parents. You should take refuge for their benefit. When you take refuge, consider that all these beings are taking refuge along with you, even those who do not know of the Three Jewels.

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
