Great bodhisattvas do not think they have anything specific to accomplish. They do not have the idea that they must help sentient beings; rather, they naturally respond to others, whose needs provide them with the opportunity to practice. far from expecting gratitude, they are grateful to others. This is not humility; it is just the bodhisattva's compassionate interaction with other beings; it is the desire spirit of a Chan practitioner.
