འཇིག་རྟེན་བདེ་བ་ཇི་སྙེད་པ། །

དེ་ཀུན་གཞན་བདེ་འདོད་ལས་བྱུང༌། །
འཇིག་རྟེན་སྡུག་བསྔལ་ཇི་སྙེད་པ། །

དེ་ཀུན་རང་བདེ་འདོད་ལས་བྱུང༌། །

Whatever joy there is in this world,
All comes from wanting others to be happy.
Whatever suffering there is in this world,
All comes from wanting oneself to be happy.

Śāntideva, Introduction to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, VIII, 129
