“The development of bodhichitta is the core of the Buddha’s teaching, and the main path. Once the development of bodhichitta has taken place, the practitioner endeavors to apply the altruistic principle throughout his or her life. This leads to what are known as the ‘bodhisattva ideals,’ including the ‘six perfections’ – the perfections of generosity, morality, patience, enthusiasm, meditation or concentration, and wisdom.”
