shantideva encourages us to....

overcome all forms of weariness 
and ride the horse of bodhichitta,
traveling from place of joy to place of joy.
what intelligent person would not delight 
in such a journey?


when i am happy may i dedicate my happiness to all,
and when suffering may the ocean of misery dry up.

bodhichitta: enlightenment-mind
the mind that strives for awakening and compassion
for the benefit of all sentient beings.
