Bodhichitta, Sanskrit, "awakened mind"; the mind of enlightenment, one of the central notions of Mahayana Buddhism.  In the Tibetan tradition it is seen as having two aspects, relative and absolute.  The relative mind of enlightenment is divided again into two phases:

 

1. the intention and wish, nurtured by limitless compassion, to attain liberation(nirvana) for the sake of the welfare of all beings
2. actual entry into meditation, the purpose of which is the acquisition of the appropriate means to actualize this wish (bodhisattva).

The absolute mind of enlightenment is viewed as the vision of the tru nature (shunyata) of phenomena.  The various methods for arousing the mind of enlightenment stem primarily from Atisha and entered into all schools of Tibetan Buddhism through him.
