མང་དུ་བཤད་ལྟ་ཅི་ཞིག་དགོས། །

བྱིས་པ་རང་གི་དོན་བྱེད་དང༌། །
ཐུབ་པ་གཞན་གྱི་དོན་མཛད་པ། །

འདི་གཉིས་ཀྱི་ནི་ཁྱད་པར་ལྟོས། །

What need is there to say a whole lot more?
Buddhas work for the benefit of others,
Ordinary people work for the benefit of themselves,
And just look at the difference between them!

Śāntideva, Introduction to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, VIII, 130
