Note on the transliteration:

The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).

Important:

We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

5. Bodhisattvas and disciples Subhuti: Is then a Bodhisattva also trained in the accomplishment of a Disciple? The Lord: He should also be trained in that. But he does not train with the intention of always continuing with the accomplishment of a Disciple, or with the idea of making it in any way his own. (433) Not thus does he train. He also knows the qualities of the Disciples, but does not abide with them. He assimilates them, without opposing them. He trains with the intention that he should demonstrate and reveal also the virtues of the Disciples. When he trains thus, a Bodhisattva arrives at a condition where he is worthy of receiving gifts from the world with its Gods, men and Asuras. He surpasses all other people who are worthy of gifts, associated with Disciples or Pratyekabuddhas. And all-knowledge will be near to him. When he trains thus, a Bodhisattva does not part from the perfection of wisdom, but he courses in it, is not lacking in the dwelling of the perfection of wisdom. When he courses thus a Bodhisattva should be known as “unfailing, definitely unfailing” with regard to all-knowledge, and he keeps away from the level of a Disciple or Pratyekabuddha. He is near to full enlightenment. If, however, it occurs to him that “this is the perfection of wisdom which brings this all-knowledge,” - then one who has such a notion does not course in the perfection of wisdom. On the contrary he has no notion even of perfect wisdom, he does not perceive or review that “this is the perfection of wisdom,” or “his is the perfection of wisdom,” or “it shall feed all-knowledge.” If he courses thus, a Bodhisattva courses in the perfection of wisdom.
