In Buddhism, bodhicitta ((サンスクリット:बोधिचित्त); (中国語:菩提心), ''putixin''; (日本語:菩提心), ''bodaishin''; (チベット語:བྱང་ཆུབ་ཀྱི་སེམས་), Wylie transliteration: ''byang chub kyi sems''; (モンゴル語:бодь сэтгэл); Vietnamese: Bồ-đề tâm), "enlightenment-mind", is the mind that strives toward awakening, empathy and compassion for the benefit of all sentient beings. ==Etymology== Etymologically, the word is a combination of the Sanskrit words bodhi and citta. ''Bodhi'' means "awakening" or "enlightenment". ''Citta'' derives from the Sanskrit root ''cit'', and means "that which is conscious" (i.e., mind or consciousness). ''Bodhicitta'' may be translated as "awakening mind" or "mind of enlightenment". ==Spontaneity== Bodhicitta is a spontaneous wish to attain enlightenment motivated by great compassion for all sentient beings, accompanied by a falling away of the attachment to the illusion of an inherently existing self. The mind of great compassion and bodhicitta motivates one to attain enlightenment Buddhahood, as quickly as possible and benefit infinite sentient beings through their emanations and other skillful means. Bodhicitta is a felt need to replace others' suffering with bliss. Since the ultimate end of suffering is nirvana, bodhicitta necessarily involves a motivation to help others to awaken (to find ''bodhi'').〔 A person who has a spontaneous realization or motivation of bodhicitta is called a ''bodhisattva''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bodhicitta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
