“All the joy the world contains
Has come through wishing happiness for others.
All the misery the world contains
Has come through wanting pleasure for oneself. (8.129)”
Śāntideva, The Way of the Bodhisattva

Dalai Lama XIV
“When you cultivate deeply such powerful sentiments as those articulated in Shantideva’s prayer...

For as long as space exists,
For as long as sentient beings remain,
Until then, may I too remain
And dispel the miseries of the world,

… time is totally irrelevant; you are thinking in terms of infinity.”
Dalai Lama XIV, Illuminating the Path to Enlightenment: A Commentary on Atisha Dipamkara Shrijnana's A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment and Lama Je Tsong Khapa's Lines of Experience
