- Question is:
- If someone wants to become a Bodhisattva, who has already developed towards Bodhisattva level, how can they control their heart?
- “If consciousness called Dharma Kindness want to be awakened, to develop become Bodhisattva, how can they control their consciousness, their true heart not to get lost by all the blindness external and internal.”
- Note: people who want to learn Bodhisattva level are called Kind(ness) consciousness.

Question “Shi Pu Di, if Dharma Kindness consciousness want to be awakened,
to develop become Bodhisattva, how can they control their consciousness (true heart), their true heart not to get lost by all the blindness external and internal?”
The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra
2. Elder Subhūti opens the question
At that time the Elder Subhuti arose from his seat in the assembly, uncovered his right shoulder, placed his right knee on the ground, put his palms together with respect and said to the Buddha,
“How rare, World Honored One, is the Tathagata who remembers and protects all Bodhisattvas and causes them to be well-endowed.
“World Honored One, if a good man, or good woman, resolves his mind on anuttarasamyaksambodhi, how should he dwell, how should he subdue his mind?”
The Buddha said, “Good indeed, good indeed, Subhuti. It is as you say. The Tathagata remembers and protects all Bodhisattvas and causes them to be well-endowed. Now listen attentively; I shall tell you. A good man, or good woman, who resolves his mind on anuttarasamyaksambodhi should thus dwell, should thus subdue his mind.”
“Yes, certainly, World Honored One. I want to hear. I am delighted to listen.”

You also create a lot of merit, so it helps to actualize bodhichitta quickly, together with all the other realizations. That’s the business. That’s the deal with the Vajra Cutter Sutra. You create so much merit for whatever you wish. You help others and you achieve all your wishes easily. If you recite Vajra Cutter Sutra, many times, of course there is no worry for death at all. Good bye fear of death. Good bye fear of lower realms. Almost, you can say, “A Vajra Cutter Sutra a day, good bye lower realms,” like they say in the U.S. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” “Good bye doctor!” Also, you can say, “goodbye” to self-grasping that has cheated you, totally controlled you from beginningless rebirth, and made you suffer numberless times from beginningless rebirths – in the oceans of hell sufferings, the oceans of hungry ghost sufferings, the oceans of animal sufferings, the oceans of human being sufferings, the oceans of sura sufferings, the oceans of asura sufferings, the oceans of intermediate state beings sufferings, etc. Also, you know what an incredible source of collecting extensive merit reading it is. If, while you are reading it, while listening to or hearing the Vajra Cutter Sutra, or just hearing about it, if you continue with faith, just that, how much merit you collect is just mind blowing, amazing, incredible, wow! It makes you laugh.
