“p>No suffering is self-caused.
Nothing causes itself.
If another is not self-made,
How could suffering be caused by another? If suffering were caused by each,
Suffering could be caused by both.
Not caused by self or by other,
How could suffering be uncaused?”

Mūlamadhyamakakārikā 14.8–9

“To those possessed of breeding, learning, handsome looks,
Who have no wisdom, neither discipline, you need not bow.
But those who do have these two qualities,
Though lacking other virtues, you should revere.”

Letter to a Friend (Snow Lion: 2013), stanza 28

“Without hope of reward
Provide help to others.
Bear suffering alone,
And share your pleasures with beggars.”
