There are two things that one should learn when developing a bodhisattva mind: one is wisdom, the other is compassion and convenience.
If you want to learn wisdom, there is nothing better than reading and reciting the Mahayana and Vaipulya sutras, deeply understanding their meanings, and entering into contemplation according to the texts, so as not fall into the ridicule of chewing wood or be mocked for counting other people's treasures. Also approach wise teachers and good friends many times to discuss and make decisions, don't be self-righteous.
If you want to learn compassion and expediency, you must have a deep belief that all sentient beings have Buddha nature and will definitely become Buddhas. When you see monks or lay people committing evil, do not look down on them but have compassion and love for them, and use all kinds of skillful means to protect and guide them.
If one relies on the fact that he is practicing, and becomes negligent and indifferent when he sees people who are not practicing, thinking he observes the precepts and looking down on those who break the precepts; thinking that he has read and recited the Mahayana sutras, and look down on those who have not heard the Dharma; thinking that he understands the Buddha's meaning, and looks down on the foolish; thinking that he is observing the mind, and looks down on those who speak out, then these are all egoistic views that are as high as a mountain, and that are heavily concerned with winning and losing. Even if he works hard all his life, he will only reach the Asura realm, and will be far away from the Bodhisattva path.
