“Examine thus yourself from every side.


Note harmful thoughts and every futile striving.


Thus it is that heroes in the Bodhisattva path


Apply the remedies to keep a steady mind.”

–Shantideva (Indian Buddhist Scholar at Nalanda University, 8th Century)              

“The Way of the Bodhisattva: A Translation of the Bodhicharyavatara (Shambhala Classics)” (Shantideva)
