Quotes
ལུས་ཅན་དག་གི་ལས་རྣམས་ནི། །
བསྐལ་པ་བརྒྱར་ཡང་ཆུད་མི་ཟ། །
ཚོགས་ཤིང་དུས་ལས་བབས་པ་ན། །
When the time arrives—and even if
A hundred eons pass—
Fruit is born of every act
That sentient beings amass.[1]
- Buddha Shakyamuni, The Hundred Deeds, 1.72 (first occurrence)
- ↑ Quoted in The Words of My Perfect Teacher, page 119.
