Kenpo Chicheng Luozhu:

What are the conditions for bodhicitta?

The first one is to have compassion for all sentient beings. The so-called "kindness" is the single-minded hope that every sentient being can not only obtain happiness in this life, but also obtain eternal happiness in all reincarnations and even Bodhi. This is not a verbal declaration, but a true feeling from the heart; the so-called "compassion" means the sincere hope from the depths of the soul that every sentient being will not encounter any pain and stay away from any pain in all the reincarnations of life, even in Bodhi. All pain. The object of compassion is not only one's relatives and friends, but also one's enemies; it does not refer to a village, a country, or just human beings, but to all life, including all living beings in the six realms. If we can treat them equally and be as eager as we usually wish ourselves to be happy forever and never suffer pain, it can be regarded as true compassion. ...

The second condition is to swear to become a Buddha for the sake of all sentient beings. ...The basis of the six paramitas is loving-kindness and compassion. On this basis, one can truly practice the six paramitas of generosity, precepts, patience, diligence, meditation, and prajna. If there is a lack of compassion, the Six Paramitas are not the true Mahayana Buddhism.
