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!
