[[Bodhicitta]] ([[byang chub kyi sems]]), thought or mind of enlightenment is defined as the intention to achieve [[Buddhahood]] for the sake of all beings. It has two aspects, relative and absolute. The relative mind of enlightenment is itself divided into two steps: the wish to attain ultimate perfection to become able to free all beings from suffering, and the entry into spiritual practice to actualize this wish. The absolute mind of enlightenment is the realization of emptiness, the recognition that the [[Buddha-nature]] abides in every [[sentient being]].  See also [[Bodhichitta]].  [MR-ShabkarNotes]
