སྔོན་ཆད་མ་བྱུང་བ་ཡང་འདིར་བརྗོད་མེད། །

སྡེབ་སྦྱོར་མཁས་པའང་བདག་ལ་ཡོད་མིན་ཏེ། །
དེ་ཕྱིར་གཞན་དོན་བསམ་པའང་བདག་ལ་མེད། །

རང་གི་ཡིད་ལ་བསྒོམ་ཕྱིར་ངས་འདིར་བརྩམས། །

There is nothing here that has not been said before,
And I lack any skill in the art of composition.
Therefore I do not expect this to be of use to others,
And write it only as an exercise for my mind.

Śāntideva, Introduction to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, I, 2
