English	Are you really going to abandon all these beings immersed in so much suffering? A son who is prosperous and happy, and lives comfortably and eats good food, while his parents go about in rags, destitute, hungry, and with no roof over their heads, would be seen by everyone as a figure of shame and contempt. But is that any different from failing to care for all beings of the six realms, who have all been your loving parents at one time or another? If you harbor such self-centered attitudes and do not strive for the happiness of others, you will be a figure of shame for all great beings, and will have strayed from the path of the Mahayana.

Apramāda - A state of being careful and attentive in one's actions, words, and thoughts. It means staying alert to avoid doing things that cause harm and focusing on what is helpful and virtuous. It is often called the 'path to the deathless' because it prevents the mind from wandering into negative habits. Skt अप्रमाद  Tib བག་ཡོད་པ་  Ch 不放逸

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
