Mind-Nature Should Correspond to the Fruit Stage

After seeing the mind, one becomes a true Mahāyāna bodhisattva. If one's mental disposition has not been genuinely transformed before seeing the mind, and one does not yet possess the mental disposition of a qualified Mahāyāna bodhisattva, then it is difficult—or even impossible—to become a true Mahāyāna bodhisattva. A bodhisattva should have the character of a bodhisattva, a person should have human character, and a Buddha should have the character of a Buddha; one's mental disposition should correspond to one's stage of attainment—only then is it normal. Otherwise, one is a false bodhisattva, a false Buddha. A person who lacks human character is not a complete person, not a person in the true sense.
