Additional quotes by Shantideva

May all those languishing in hell come now to perfect joy.
And may the stooping animals be freed
From fear of being preyed upon, each other's food.

As long as diseases afflict living beings May I be the doctor, the medicine And also the nurse Who restores them to health.

Until every being afflicted by pain Has reached nirvanas shores, May I serve only as a condition That encourages progress and joy.

His the knife, and mine the body the twofold cause of suffering. He has grasped the knife, I my body. At which is there anger? - Shantideva
