The Great and Pristine Vow
Bodhisattvas abstain from self-interest.
Their every deed underpins their great and pristine vow to act with Bodhicitta.
Like a drop of mercury, which has seeped into the soil yet untainted,
Bodhisattvas, despite coming to this world, are not soiled by this world of filth.
- Venerable Jing Yuan

伟大而净洁的发心
菩萨远离自利，他们所做的每件事都蕴藏着伟大而净洁的发心。
如同一滴水银掉入土中，仍然一尘不染；
而菩萨来此世界，却没有受到浊世的染污。
- 净远法师
