And as long as sentient beings remain
Until then may I too abide
To dispel the miseries of the world
—Shantideva, Engaging in the Bodhisattva’s Deeds
May I be beloved of beings,
And may they be more beloved to me than myself.
May their bad deeds ripen upon me
And may all my virtue, without exception, ripen upon them.
—Nagarjuna, Precious Garland
