whenever i associate with someone, may i think myself the lowest among all and hold the other supreme in the depth of my heart!…
when i see beings of wicked nature, pressed by violent sin and affliction, may i hold these rare ones dear as if i had found a precious treasure!…
when others, out of envy, treat me badly with abuse, slander and the like, may i suffer the defeat and offer the victory to others!…
when the one, whom i have benefited with great hope, hurts me very badly, may i behold him as my supreme Guru!
in short may i, directly and indirectly, offer benefit and happiness to all beings, may i secretly take upon myself the harm and suffering of all beings!…
a poem.
