| Abstract | This paper is a contribution to the study of the interpretation of the concept of Bodhicitta. This concept is a technical term of frequent occurrence in Buddhist Sanskrit literature. Within the Mahayana Buddhist tradition, Bodhicitta is closely related to the spiritual practices of the Buddhist aspirant to enlightenment. The form of this study is as follows: fi rst, the meaning of cittta in Therevada and Mahayana sutras, and the actual meaning if Bodhicitta. Secondly, the meaning of Bodhicitta depicted in Mahāyāna Sūtras. Lastly, the Metaphors and Similes on Bodhicitta in the Mahāyāna Sūtras, and the types of Bodhicitta. Such studies and practice could bring one to the realization that what is described by it is indeed the only possible reality. This means that Bodhicitta is the means to as well as the description of the goal to attain. |
