Bodhichitta (byang chub kyi sems): lit. "the mind of enlightenment".

On the conventional level of Relative Bodhicitta, ''bodhicitta'' is the altruistic wish to attain the state of complete Enlightenment or Awakening, Buddhahood, for the sake of all sentient beings, in order to benefit them generally, and also to bring them to the state of Enlightenment in particular; as well as the determination to practice the Bodhisattva Path of love, compassion, the Six Transcendental Perfections (pāramitā-s), etc., which are necessary for achieving that goal of Buddhahood. On the absolute level of Ultimate Bodhicitta, ''bodhicitta'' is the practice of direct insight into the ultimate nature of phenomena and the true nature of mind.  
 
Notoriously difficult to translate into English and thus often simply left in its original Sanskrit, ''bodhicitta'' has been rendered numerous ways, some more accurate that others, including “awakened mind” (inaccurate), “awakened heart” (inaccurate), “enlightened mind” (inaccurate), “enlightened heart” (inaccurate), “thought of enlightenment/awakening” (somewhat accurate), “altruistic aspiration to enlightenment/awakening” (accurate), “awakening mind” (accurate), “will to enlightenment/awakening” (accurate), “bodhi mind” (accurate), “bodhi heart” (accurate), and “spirit of enlightenment/awakening” (accurate). “Enlightenment/Awakening Mind” (or “Mind of Enlightenment/Awakening”), is the most literal standard translation of the term, and in many contexts may also be the most appropriate for capturing the nuances of the term ''bodhicitta'' in English, although “Awakening Mind” amounts to the same thing and is a bit shorter. Care must be made when rendering this term not to wrongly indicate that this 'mind' is ''one which has already attained Enlightenment''; which is why “enlightened/awakened mind” is inaccurate. It should be noted, however, that ''bodhicitta'' often has different meanings in Tantric or Vajrayāna contexts. See also [[byang chub kyi sems]] and [[byang chub sems]] [Erick Tsiknopoulos]
