Quotations: Shantideva, Bodhicharyavatara, Take advantage of this boat, the human body...
མི་ཡི་གྲུ་ལ་བརྟེན་ནས་ནི། །
སྡུག་བསྔལ་ཆུ་བོ་ཆེ་ལས་སྒྲོལ། །
གྲུ་འདི་ཕྱི་ནས་རྙེད་དཀའ་བས། །
Take advantage of this boat, the human body,
To free yourself from the great river of suffering.
Since this boat will be hard to find again,
Now is not the time for sleep, you fool![1]
