All the happiness there is in this world Arises from wishing others to be happy. And all the suffering there is in this world Arises from wishing oneself to be happy.

Penetrative insight joined with calm abiding utterly eradicates afflicted states.

May the pain of every living creature be completely cleared away. May I be the doctor and the medicine and may I be the nurse for all sick beings in the world until everyone is healed.

Why be unhappy about something if it can be remedied? And what is the use of being unhappy about something if it cannot be remedied?

In the ages marked by scarcity and want, may I myself appear as drink and sustenance.

How wonderful will it be when all beings experience each other as limbs on the one body of life.

Whatever happens, I will not let my cheerfulness be disturbed. Being unhappy won't get me anywhere and will dissipate all my goodness. Why be unhappy about something if you can change it? And if you can't, how will being unhappy help?
