Additional quotes by Shantideva

Suffering is transcended by total surrender And the mind attains to nirvana. As one day all must be given up, Why not dedicate it now to universal happiness?

May I act as the mighty earth Or like the free and open skies To support and provide the space Whereby I and all others may grow.

Thus today in the presence of all awakened Ones I invite every living being to this festival Giving both immediate and lasting joy. May the gods and all others rejoice.

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