Quotations
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)
The ocean, home of creatures fierce,
Could fail to send its tides on time.
But when the time has come to tame
Their offspring, buddhas never fail.
- ↑ Quoted in The Words of My Perfect Teacher, page 119.
