Additional quotes by Shantideva

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.

May I fall as rain to increase The harvests that must feed living beings And in ages of dire famine May I myself serve as food and drink.

In the spiritual energy that relieves The anguish of beings in misery and Places depressed beings in eternal joy I lift up my heart and rejoice.

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. - Shantideva
