• For as long as space remains
  And as long as sentient beings remain
  Until then may I too remain
  To dispel the suffering of all beings.

• If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying?
  If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?

• If you have not even dreamed
  Of benefiting yourself
  Before dreaming of this for sentient beings,
  How could you be of benefit to others?

• What need is there to say more?
  The childish work for their own benefit,
  The buddhas work for the benefit of others.
  Just look at the difference between them.

• Whoever wishes to quickly afford protection
  To both himself and others
  Should practice that holy secret:
  The exchanging of self for others.

• You are not here to change the world. The world is here to change you.
