བདག་བདེ་གཞན་གྱི་སྡུག་བསྔལ་དག །

ཡང་དག་བརྗེ་བ་མ་བྱས་ན། །
སངས་རྒྱས་ཉིད་དུ་མི་འགྲུབ་ཅིང༌། །

འཁོར་བ་ན་ཡང་བདེ་བ་མེད། །

Unless I can give away my happiness
In exchange for others’ suffering,
I will not attain the awakening I seek,
And even in saṃsāra I’ll find no joy.

Śāntideva, Introduction to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, VIII, 131
