Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāTyāgacitta (त्यागचित्त) refers to “(one having) a mind set on giving up”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “When this had been said, the Lord said to the Bodhisattva, the great being Gaganagañja: ‘[...] Son of good family, [the Bodhisattva] who gives a gift in such a way, completely gives up the vices of all living beings by insight and knowledge, but he does not abandon any living being by the knowledge of expedient means. In a such a way, son of good family, the generosity of a Bodhisattva with a mind set on giving up (tyāgacitta) becomes like the expanse of the sky’”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).
