Not a Bodhisattva


If bodhisattvas have the notion that there are living beings to be liberated, this is an image of self. If they have the sense that they can liberate living beings, this is an image of a person. If they think nirvana can be sought, this is an image of a being. If they have the notion of the existence of nirvana to be realized, this is an image of a liver of life. Those who have these four images are not bodhisattvas.
