Shantideva
1
Delighted, I rejoice in virtue—
Respite from the pains
Of lower realms—and in those who suffer
Dwelling in happiness.
2
I celebrate the virtues gathered
That cause enlightenment.
3
I rejoice in beings’ emancipation
From the suffering of samsara,
In the protectors’ buddhahood,
And the bodhisattvas’ levels.
