Mahayana Aspiration (Dasheng Xinyuan)¶

The Mahayana Aspiration (大乘心愿, dasheng xinyuan) is the vow to abandon oneself and devote one's entire being to the work of liberating all sentient beings — a vast aspiration that transcends personal salvation and holds all living beings in mind. The Supreme-Vehicle Aspiration is the vow to walk the path of the Greatest Creator and all Buddhas and Tathāgatas, guiding all beings to the state of formless thinking and into the Hundun (Chaos) state of mind. In the Lifechanyuan system, the Mahayana Aspiration is the foundational qualification for Chanyuan Celestials, a prerequisite for attaining supreme enlightenment wisdom, and the fundamental path through which achieving others and achieving oneself are unified.
