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.
