Additional quotes by Shantideva

May the slander, harm And all forms of abuse That anyone should direct towards me Act as a cause of their enlightenment.

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.

Just as a blind man might find a jewel amongst heaps of rubbish, so this Spirit of Awakening has somehow arisen in me.

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