Shantideva Quotes About Wisdom

Quotes about: Wisdom

• Examine thus yourself from every side.
  Note harmful thoughts and every futile striving.
  Thus it is that heroes in the bodhisattva path
  Apply the remedies to keep a steady mind.

• Those who have no mental vigilance,
  Though they may hear the teachings, ponder them or meditate,
  With minds like water seeping from a leaking jug,
  Their learning will not settle in their memories.

  Free yourself from sorrow's mighty stream!
  This vessel will be later hard to find.
  The time that you have now, you fool, is not for sleep!
