Additional quotes by Shantideva

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.

Let my possessions vanish; let my honor, my body, livelihood, and everything else pass away. But may my virtuous mind never be lost.

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?
