He constantly makes gifts to beings of raiments adorned with the seven precious things, and also makes gifts of the objects of the five desires. In the present age and in the future, he insures that they are all replete. In life after life, he works for the benefit of beings and causes them to experience bliss. Because of this, the bodhisattva generates thoughts imbued with the great compassion and wishes then to benefit beings with the constant bliss of nirvana. This constant bliss of nirvana is born of actual wisdom.
Actual wisdom is born of single-minded dhyaana absorption.
This is analogous to a burning lantern. Although the lantern is capable of providing illumination, it cannot be useful in a stiff breeze. However, if one places it in a closed room, its usefulness then becomes completely manifest. Wisdom in the context of a scattered mind is just like this. Although one may possess wisdom, without the still room of dhyaana absorption, its usefulness is incomplete.
