A Bodhisattva's Gem

(There,) let me always be stable with my Buddha-figure
And whenever a feeling of laziness or exhaustion arises,
Let me enumerate my own shortcomings
And remind myself of the essential points of taming behavior.

-- Atisha, A Bodhisattva's Garland of Gems

For Such is Limitless

If someone were to fill with jewels
As many buddha fields as there are grains
Of sand in the Ganges
To offer to the Protector of the World,

This would be surpassed by
The gift of folding one’s hands
And inclining one’s mind to enlightenment,
For such is limitless.

— Atisha, A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment
