See the Difference


Whatever joy there is in this world
All comes from desiring others to be happy.
And whatever suffering there is in this world,
All comes from desiring myself to be happy.

But what need is there to say much more?
The childish work for their own benefit,
The Buddhas work for the benefit of others.
Just look at the difference between them.

---Shantideva---
