ནམ་མཁའ་མེད་པས་འདབ་ཆགས་ལྡོག་པར་མི་འགྱུར་གྱི། །
འདི་ནི་རང་མཐུ་ཟད་པས་ལྡོག་པར་འགྱུར་དེ་བཞིན། །
སློབ་མ་དང་བཅས་སངས་རྒྱས་སྲས་རྣམས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཀྱི། །
It is not because they run out of sky that birds turn back;
It is because they lack the strength to keep on flying.
Just so, the śrāvaka disciples and the bodhisattvas,
Can not express Buddha’s qualities, as infinite as space.
- Candrakīrti, Introduction to the Middle Way, Chapter 11, verse 41
